Song of Solomon 3:1-7
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 3
1
'On my bed night after night I sought him
Whom my soul loves;
I sought him but did not find him.
2
‘ I must arise now and go around in the city;
In the streets and in the public squares
I must seek him whom my soul loves.’
I sought him but did not find him.
3
The watchmen who make the rounds in the city found me,
And I said,
‘Have you seen him whom my soul loves?’
4
Hardly had I left them
When I found him whom my soul loves;
I held on to him and would not let him go
Until I had brought him to my mother’s house,
And into the room of her who conceived me.'
5
'Swear to me, you daughters of Jerusalem,
By the gazelles or by the does of the field,
That you will not disturb or awaken
my
love
Until she pleases.'
6
'What is this coming up from the wilderness
Like columns of smoke,
Perfumed with myrrh and frankincense,
With all the scented powders of the merchant?
7
Behold, it is the
traveling
couch of Solomon;
Sixty warriors around it,
Of the warriors of Israel.
King James Version
Chapter 3
1
By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.
2
I will rise now, and go about the city in the streets, and in the broad ways I will seek him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.
3
The watchmen that go about the city found me: to whom I said, Saw ye him whom my soul loveth?
4
It was but a little that I passed from them, but I found him whom my soul loveth: I held him, and would not let him go, until I had brought him into my mother's house, and into the chamber of her that conceived me.
5
I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please.
6
Who is this that cometh out of the wilderness like pillars of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all powders of the merchant?
7
Behold his bed, which is Solomon's; threescore valiant men are about it, of the valiant of Israel.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 3
1
In my bed at night
I sought the one I love;
I sought him, but did not find him.
2
I will arise now and go about the city,
through the streets and the plazas.
I will seek the one I love.
I sought him, but did not find him.
3
The guards who go about the city found me.
I asked them, "Have you seen the one I love?"
4
I had just passed them
when I found the one I love.
I held on to him and would not let him go
until I brought him to my mother’s house —
to the chamber of the one who conceived me.
5
Young women of Jerusalem, I charge you
by the gazelles and the wild does of the field,
do not stir up or awaken love
until the appropriate time.
6
Who is this coming up from the wilderness
like columns of smoke,
scented with myrrh and frankincense
from every fragrant powder of the merchant?
7
Look! Solomon’s bed
surrounded by sixty warriors
from the mighty men of Israel.
New Living Translation
Chapter 3
1
One night as I lay in bed, I yearned for my lover.
I yearned for him, but he did not come.
2
So I said to myself, 'I will get up and roam the city,
searching in all its streets and squares.
I will search for the one I love.'
So I searched everywhere but did not find him.
3
The watchmen stopped me as they made their rounds,
and I asked, 'Have you seen the one I love?'
4
Then scarcely had I left them
when I found my love!
I caught and held him tightly,
then I brought him to my mother’s house,
into my mother’s bed, where I had been conceived.
5
Promise me, O women of Jerusalem,
by the gazelles and wild deer,
not to awaken love until the time is right.
6
Who is this sweeping in from the wilderness
like a cloud of smoke?
Who is it, fragrant with myrrh and frankincense
and every kind of spice?
7
Look, it is Solomon’s carriage,
surrounded by sixty heroic men,
the best of Israel’s soldiers.
English Standard Version
Chapter 3
1
On my bed by night
I sought him whom my soul loves;
I sought him, but found him not.
2
I will rise now and go about the city,
in the streets and in the squares;
I will seek him whom my soul loves.
I sought him, but found him not.
3
The watchmen found me
as they went about in the city.
"Have you seen him whom my soul loves?"
4
Scarcely had I passed them
when I found him whom my soul loves.
I held him, and would not let him go
until I had brought him into my mother 's house,
and into the chamber of her who conceived me.
5
I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem,
by the gazelles or the does of the field,
that you not stir up or awaken love
until it pleases.
6
What is that coming up from the wilderness
like columns of smoke,
perfumed with myrrh and frankincense,
with all the fragrant powders of a merchant?
7
Behold, it is the litter of Solomon!
Around it are sixty mighty men,
some of the mighty men of Israel,
New International Version
Chapter 3
1
All night long on my bed
I looked for the one my heart loves;
I looked for him but did not find him.
2
I will get up now and go about the city,
through its streets and squares;
I will search for the one my heart loves.
So I looked for him but did not find him.
3
The watchmen found me
as they made their rounds in the city.
"Have you seen the one my heart loves?"
4
Scarcely had I passed them
when I found the one my heart loves.
I held him and would not let him go
till I had brought him to my mother’s house,
to the room of the one who conceived me.
5
Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you
by the gazelles and by the does of the field:
Do not arouse or awaken love
until it so desires.
6
Who is this coming up from the wilderness
like a column of smoke,
perfumed with myrrh and incense
made from all the spices of the merchant?
7
Look! It is Solomon’s carriage,
escorted by sixty warriors,
the noblest of Israel,
New King James Version

In the streets and in the squares
I will seek the one I love.”
I sought him, but I did not find him.

Until I had brought him to the house of my mother,
And into the chamber of her who conceived me.
5
I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem,
By the gazelles or by the does of the field,
Do not stir up nor awaken love
Until it pleases.
6
Who
is
this coming out of the wilderness
Like pillars of smoke,
Perfumed with myrrh and frankincense,
With all the merchant’s fragrant powders?
7
Behold, it
is
Solomon’s couch,
With
sixty valiant men around it,
Of the valiant of Israel.
