Song of Solomon 2:7-9

Good News Translation

⁷ Promise me, women of Jerusalem;
    swear by the swift deer and the gazelles
    that you will not interrupt our love.

⁸ I hear my lover's voice.
He comes running over the mountains,
    racing across the hills to me.
⁹ My lover is like a gazelle,
    like a young stag.
There he stands beside the wall.
He looks in through the window
    and glances through the lattice.
