5 I arose to open for my beloved,
And my hands dripped with myrrh,
My fingers with liquid myrrh,
On the handles of the lock.
And my hands dripped with myrrh,
My fingers with liquid myrrh,
On the handles of the lock.
6 I opened for my1 beloved,
But my beloved had turned away and was gone.
My heart leaped up when he spoke.
aI sought him, but I could not find him;
I called him, but he gave me no answer.
But my beloved had turned away and was gone.
My heart leaped up when he spoke.
aI sought him, but I could not find him;
I called him, but he gave me no answer.
7 aThe watchmen who went about the city found me.
They struck me, they wounded me;
The keepers of the walls
Took my veil away from me.
They struck me, they wounded me;
The keepers of the walls
Took my veil away from me.
