New Living Translation (NLT)

Song of Solomon 6
¹⁰ “Who is this, arising like the dawn, as fair as the moon, as bright as the sun, as majestic as an army with billowing banners?”
¹¹ I went down to the grove of walnut trees and out to the valley to see the new spring growth, to see whether the grapevines had budded or the pomegranates were in bloom.
¹² Before I realized it, my strong desires had taken me to the chariot of a noble man.
¹³ Return, return to us, O maid of Shulam. Come back, come back, that we may see you again. Why do you stare at this young woman of Shulam, as she moves so gracefully between two lines of dancers?
Song of Solomon 7
¹ How beautiful are your sandaled feet, O queenly maiden. Your rounded thighs are like jewels, the work of a skilled craftsman.
² Your navel is perfectly formed like a goblet filled with mixed wine. Between your thighs lies a mound of wheat bordered with lilies.
³ Your breasts are like two fawns, twin fawns of a gazelle.
⁴ Your neck is as beautiful as an ivory tower. Your eyes are like the sparkling pools in Heshbon by the gate of Bath-rabbim. Your nose is as fine as the tower of Lebanon overlooking Damascus.
⁵ Your head is as majestic as Mount Carmel, and the sheen of your hair radiates royalty. The king is held captive by its tresses.
⁶ Oh, how beautiful you are! How pleasing, my love, how full of delights!
⁷ You are slender like a palm tree, and your breasts are like its clusters of fruit.
