Song of Songs 3:6-11

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁶ Who is that coming up from the wilderness
    like a column of smoke,
perfumed with myrrh and frankincense,
    with all the fragrant powders of the merchant?^(A)
7 Look, it is the litter of Solomon!
Around it are sixty mighty men
    of the mighty men of Israel,
⁸ all equipped with swords
    and expert in war,
each with his sword at his thigh
    because of alarms by night.^(B)
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 stone.
    Daughters^[a] of Jerusalem,^(C)
11     come out and look^[b]
    at King Solomon,
at the crown with which his mother crowned him
    on the day of his wedding,
    on the day of the gladness of his heart.
