Song of Solomon 5:2-7
Holman Christian Standard Bible
2 W I sleep, but my heart is awake.
A sound! My love is knocking!(A)
M Open to me, my sister, my darling,
my dove, my perfect one.
For my head is drenched with dew,
my hair with droplets of the night.
3 W I have taken off my clothing.(B)
How can I put it back on?
I have washed my feet.
How can I get them dirty?
4 My love thrust his hand through the opening,
and my feelings were stirred for him.
5 I rose to open for my love.
My hands dripped with myrrh,(C)
my fingers with flowing myrrh
on the handles of the bolt.
6 I opened to my love,
but my love had turned and gone away.
I was crushed[a] that he had left.[b]
I sought him, but did not find him.(D)
I called him, but he did not answer.
7 The guards who go about the city found me.(E)
They beat and wounded me;
they took my cloak[c] from me—
the guardians of the walls.(F)

International Standard Version
The Loved One
2 I was asleep, but my heart was awake.
There’s a sound! My beloved is knocking.
The Lover
“Open up for me, my sister, my darling,
my dove, my perfect one.
For my head is drenched with dew,
my hair with the dampness of the night.”
The Loved One
3 “I’ve taken off my clothes[a]—
am I supposed to put them on again?[b]
I’ve washed my feet—
am I supposed to[c] get them dirty again?”
4 My beloved reached out his hand for the latch.[d]
My feelings for him were aroused.
5 I got up to open the door,[e]
and my hands dripped with myrrh,
my fingers with liquid myrrh,
on the handle of the lock.
6 I opened the door[f] for my beloved,
but my beloved had turned away; he was gone!
My very life went out when he departed.[g]
I searched for him,
but couldn’t find him.
I called out to him,
but he didn’t answer.
7 The watchmen making their[h] rounds
through the city found me.
They beat me, they bruised me.
Those guarding the walls took my cloak[i] from me.
