9 My dove, my aperfect one,
Is the only one,
The only one of her mother,
The favorite of the one who bore her.
The daughters saw her
And called her blessed,
The queens and the concubines,
And they praised her.
Is the only one,

And they praised her.
10 Who is she who looks forth as the morning,
Fair as the moon,
Clear as the sun,
aAwesome as an army with banners?

11 I went down to the garden of nuts
To see the verdure of the valley,
aTo see whether the vine had budded
And the pomegranates had bloomed.

aTo see whether the vine had budded
And the pomegranates had bloomed.

13 Return, return, O Shulamite;
Return, return, that we may look upon you!
What would you see in the Shulamite—
As it were, the dance of1 the two camps?
