Fair as ythe moon, sclear as yzthe sun,

And iterrible as an army with banners?

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?

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?

NLTNew Living Translation

I would still choose my dove, my perfect one—

the favorite of her mother,

dearly loved by the one who bore her.

The young women see her and praise her;

even queens and royal concubines sing her praises:

“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?”

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

My dove, she is the one;

my perfect, she is the only one;

she is the favorite of her mother who bore her.

Maidens see her and consider her fortunate;

queens and concubines praise her:

“Who is this that looks down like the dawn,

beautiful as the moon,

bright as the sun,

overwhelming as an army with banners?”
