⁸ Sixty queens^(A) there may be,
    and eighty concubines,^(B)
    and virgins beyond number;
⁹ but my dove,^(C) my perfect one,^(D) is unique,
    the only daughter of her mother,
    the favorite of the one who bore her.^(E)
The young women saw her and called her blessed;
    the queens and concubines praised her.

²⁸ Her children arise and call her blessed;
    her husband also, and he praises her:
²⁹ “Many women do noble things,
    but you surpass them all.”
