English version by T. Carmi Original Language Hebrew 'Bound by affection, may your joy increase, as you are wed today in love and gladness; be glad and rejoice in the Lord your God. 'Bridegroom, delight in your glorious marriage chambers; excel in beauty among your companions; may your heart rejoice in the wife of your youth. 'Your radiant face, O bride, shall glow like wine; your enemies shall be as nothing; My parapet, your love is sweeter than wine.' Like one drinking wine or hearing the song of a swallow or a crane, I shall revel in the Holy One! 'I shall crown My dove with grace and kindness, as once I did when I revealed Myself in the flame of the consuming fire; for you have ravished My heart, My sister, My bride. 'Your fountains are a place of running water; I have shaken all your tormentors from you; My treasured one, lift up your eyes and look about you. 'I shall shower her who comes up from the wilderness with favours; I shall envelop My cornerstone with clouds of glory; I have likened your neck to an ivory tower.' Like one drinking wine or hearing the song of swallows or a crane, I shall revel in the Holy One! 'Arise, My beloved, and be married in love; give hymns and thanks to your King; sing and make music in My bridal chamber: "under the apple tree You have awakened me!"' [1835.jpg] -- from The Penguin Book of Hebrew Verse, Edited by T. Carmi
