but my dove, my perfect one, is unique,

the only daughter of her mother,

the favorite of the one who bore her.

Who is this that appears like the dawn,

fair as the moon, bright as the sun,

majestic as the stars in procession?

she is the favorite of her mother,

perfect to the one who gave her birth.

Who is this who shines like the dawn,

as beautiful as the moon,

bright as the sun,

awe-inspiring as an army with banners?

I would still choose my dove, my perfect one—

the favorite of her mother,

dearly loved by the one who bore her.

“Who is this, arising like the dawn,

as fair as the moon,

as bright as the sun,

as majestic as an army with billowing banners?”

my perfect, she is the only one;

she is the favorite of her mother who bore her.

“Who is this that looks down like the dawn,

beautiful as the moon,

bright as the sun,

overwhelming as an army with banners?”

KJV 1900King James Version

My dove, my undefiled is but one;

She is the only one of her mother,

She is the choice one of her that bare her.

The daughters saw her, and blessed her;

Yea, the queens and the concubines, and they praised her.

Who is she that looketh forth as the morning,

Fair as the moon, clear as the sun,

And terrible as an army with banners?
