Song of Solomon 3:6-8
GOD’S WORD Translation
A Description of the Royal Procession
[ THE CHORUS OF YOUNG WOMEN ]
6 Who is this young woman coming up from the wilderness
like clouds of smoke?
She is perfumed with myrrh and incense
made from the merchants’ scented powders.
7 Look! Solomon’s sedan chair! [a]
Sixty soldiers from the army of Israel surround it.
8 All of them are skilled in using swords,
experienced in combat.
Each one has his sword at his side
and guards against the terrors of the night.
