Song of Songs 5:1-8

Legacy Standard Bible

² “^[c]I was asleep, but my heart was awake.
A voice! My beloved was knocking:
‘Open to me, ^(G)my sister, my darling,
^(H)My dove, my perfect one!
For my head is full of dew,
My ^(I)locks with the ^[d]damp of the night.’
³ I have ^(J)taken off my long-sleeved garment,
How can I put it on again?
I have ^(K)washed my feet,
How can I dirty them again?
⁴ My beloved sent forth his hand through the opening,
And my ^[e](L)feelings moaned for him.
⁵ I arose to open to my beloved;
And my hands ^(M)dripped with myrrh,
And my fingers with ^[f]liquid myrrh,
On the handles of the lock.
⁶ I opened to my beloved,
But my beloved had ^(N)turned away and passed by!
My soul went out to him as he ^(O)spoke.
I ^(P)searched for him, but I did not find him;
I ^(Q)called him, but he did not answer me.
⁷ The ^(R)watchmen who go about in the city found me,
They struck me and wounded me;
The guardsmen of the walls took away my shawl from me.
⁸ I ^(S)call you to solemnly swear, O daughters of Jerusalem,
If you find my beloved,
What will you tell him?
Tell him that ^(T)I am sick with love.”
