¹³ His cheeks are like a bed of spices with towers of perfumes. His lips are like lilies, dropping liquid myrrh.

¹⁰ Your cheeks are beautiful with earrings, Your neck with strings of jewels.

² My beloved has gone down to his garden, To the beds of spices, To feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies.

¹ I am a rose of Sharon, A lily of the valleys.

²³ The city has no need for the sun, neither of the moon, to shine, for the very glory of God illuminated it, and its lamp is the Lamb.

²² All testified about him, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth, and they said, "Isn't this Joseph's son?"

⁶ I gave my back to the strikers, and my cheeks to those who plucked off the hair; I didn't hide my face from shame and spitting.

⁴ The Lord Yahweh has given me the tongue of those who are taught, that I may know how to sustain with words him who is weary: he wakens morning by morning, he wakens my ear to hear as those who are taught.

⁵ I rose up to open for my beloved. My hands dripped with myrrh, My fingers with liquid myrrh, On the handles of the lock.

¹¹ Your lips, my bride, drip like the honeycomb. Honey and milk are under your tongue. The smell of your garments is like the smell of Lebanon.

⁶ Who is this who comes up from the wilderness like pillars of smoke, Perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, With all spices of the merchant?

¹⁵ Blessed are the people who learn to acclaim you. They walk in the light of your presence, Yahweh.

² You are the most excellent of the sons of men. Grace has anointed your lips, Therefore God has blessed you forever.

⁴ One thing I have asked of Yahweh, that I will seek after, That I may dwell in the house of Yahweh all the days of my life, To see Yahweh's beauty, And to inquire in his temple.

⁶ Many say, "Who will show us any good?" Yahweh, let the light of your face shine on us.

⁷ You have put gladness in my heart, More than when their grain and their new wine are increased.
