27:8 My heart tells me to pray to you, 1
and I do pray to you, O Lord. 2
119:59 I consider my actions 3
and follow 4 your rules.
119:60 I keep your commands
eagerly and without delay. 5
15:23 A person has joy 6 in giving an appropriate answer, 7
and a word at the right time 8 – how good it is!
27:17 As 9 iron sharpens 10 iron,
so a person 11 sharpens his friend. 12
The Beloved about Her Lover:
3:1 All night long 13 on my bed 14
I longed for 15 my lover. 16
I longed for 17 him but he never appeared. 18
3:2 “I will arise 19 and look all around 20 throughout the town,
and throughout the streets 21 and squares;
I will search for my beloved.”
I searched for him but I did not find him. 22
3:3 The night watchmen found me – the ones who guard the city walls. 23
“Have you seen my beloved?” 24
3:4 Scarcely 25 had I passed them by
when I found my beloved!
I held onto him 26 tightly and would not let him go 27
until I brought him to my mother’s house, 28
to the bedroom chamber 29 of the one who conceived me.
