Song of Solomon 6:9-11

Contemporary English Version

⁹ You would be my only choice,
    my flawless dove,
the favorite child
    of your mother.
The young women, the queens,
    and all the others
tell how excited you are
    as they sing your praises:
¹⁰ “You are as majestic
    as the morning sky—
glorious as the moon—
    blinding as the sun!
Your charms are more powerful
    than all the stars above.”^[a]

¹¹ I went down to see if blossoms
were on the walnut trees,
    grapevines, and fruit trees.
