Song of Songs 3:6-11

Modern English Version

⁶ Who is that coming up from the wilderness,
    like columns of smoke,
perfumed with myrrh and frankincense,
    with all the fragrant powders of the merchant?
⁷ Look, it is the litter of Solomon!
    Around it are sixty mighty men,
    of the mighty men of Israel,
⁸ all of them holding swords
    and expert in war,
each with his sword at his thigh,
    because of terrors by night.
⁹ King Solomon made himself a palanquin
    from the wood of Lebanon.
¹⁰ He made its posts of silver,
    its back of gold,
its seat of purple;
    its interior was inlaid with love
    by the daughters of Jerusalem.
¹¹ Go forth, O daughters of Zion,
    and see King Solomon with the crown
    with which his mother crowned him
on the day of his wedding,
    on the day of the gladness of his heart.
