Song of Solomon 2:6-8

New Century Version

⁶ My lover’s left hand is under my head,
    and his right arm holds me tight.

⁷ Women of Jerusalem, promise me
    by the gazelles and the deer
not to awaken
    or excite my feelings of love
    until it is ready.

⁸ I hear my lover’s voice.
    Here he comes jumping across the mountains,
    skipping over the hills.
