Song of Songs 3:6-11 - Royal Wedding Procession

⁶ N What is this coming up from the wilderness
like columns of smoke,
scented with myrrh and frankincense
from every fragrant powder of the merchant?
⁷ It is Solomon’s royal litter
surrounded by 60 warriors
from the mighty of Israel.
⁸ All of them are skilled with swords
and trained in warfare.
Each has his sword at his side
to guard against the terror of the night.

⁹ King Solomon made a sedan chair for himself
with wood from Lebanon.
¹⁰ He made its posts of silver,
its back of gold,
and its seat of purple.
Its interior is inlaid with love
by the young women of Jerusalem.
¹¹ Come out, young women of Zion,
and gaze at King Solomon,
wearing the crown his mother placed on him
the day of his wedding—
the day of his heart’s rejoicing.
