Song of Solomon 2:7-9

New Century Version

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.
⁹ My lover is like a gazelle or a young deer.
    Look, he stands behind our wall
peeking through the windows,
    looking through the blinds.
