ESVEnglish Standard Version

A garden locked is my sister, my bride,

a spring locked, a fountain sealed.

Your shoots are an orchard of pomegranates

with all choicest fruits,

henna with nard,

nard and saffron, calamus and cinnamon,

with all trees of frankincense,

myrrh and aloes,

with all choice spices—

a garden fountain, a well of living water,

and flowing streams from Lebanon.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

You are a garden locked up, my sister, my bride;

you are a spring enclosed, a sealed fountain.

Your plants are an orchard of pomegranates

with choice fruits,

with henna and nard,

nard and saffron,

calamus and cinnamon,

with every kind of incense tree,

with myrrh and aloes

and all the finest spices.

You are a garden fountain,

a well of flowing water

streaming down from Lebanon.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

My sister, my bride, you are a locked garden—

a locked garden and a sealed spring.

Your branches are a paradise of pomegranates

with choicest fruits;

henna with nard,

nard and saffron, calamus and cinnamon,

with all the trees of frankincense,

myrrh and aloes,

with all the best spices.

You are a garden spring,

a well of flowing water

streaming from Lebanon.

NLTNew Living Translation

You are my private garden, my treasure, my bride,

a secluded spring, a hidden fountain.

Your thighs shelter a paradise of pomegranates

with rare spices—

henna with nard,

nard and saffron,

fragrant calamus and cinnamon,

with all the trees of frankincense, myrrh, and aloes,

and every other lovely spice.

You are a garden fountain,

a well of fresh water

streaming down from Lebanon’s mountains.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

A garden locked is my sister bride,

a spring enclosed, a fountain sealed.

Your shoots are an orchard of pomegranates with choice fruit,

henna with nard;

nard and saffron, calamus and cinnamon spice with all trees of frankincense,

myrrh and aloes with all chief spices.

A garden fountain, a well of living water,

flowing (streams) from Lebanon.

KJV 1900King James Version

A garden inclosed is my sister, my spouse;

A spring shut up, a fountain sealed.

Thy plants are an orchard of pomegranates, with pleasant fruits;

Camphire, with spikenard,

Spikenard and saffron;

Calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense;

Myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices:

A fountain of gardens, a well of living waters,

And streams from Lebanon.
