Song of Solomon

Song of Solomon 6:9–10

⁹but my dove, my perfect one, is unique,

the favorite of the mother who bore her.

The maidens see her and call her blessed;

the queens and concubines sing her praises.

¹⁰Who is this who shines like the dawn,

as fair as the moon,

as bright as the sun,

as majestic as the stars in procession?
