Song of Songs 3:6-8
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Solomon’s Wedding Procession
6 D(A) Who is this coming up from the desert,[a]
like columns of smoke
Perfumed with myrrh and frankincense,
with all kinds of exotic powders?
7 See! it is the litter of Solomon;
sixty valiant men surround it,
of the valiant men of Israel:
8 All of them expert with the sword,
skilled in battle,
Each with his sword at his side
against the terrors[b] of the night.
