1 Por la noche, en mi lecho, buscaba al amor de mi alma. Lo buscaba, pero no lo veía. 2 «Me levantaré ahora y recorreré la ciudad. Buscaré al amor de mi alma por las calles y las avenidas». Lo busqué, pero no lo vi. 3 Los guardias que recorren la ciudad pasaron junto a mí. Les pregunté: «¿Han visto al que tanto desea mi corazón?». 4 Apenas me había alejado de ellos cuando encontré al amor de mi alma. Lo tomé de las manos y no lo solté hasta llevarlo a la casa de mi madre, a la habitación de la que me dio a luz. 5 Les pido, hijas de Jerusalén, por las gacelas del campo, que no despierten el amor antes de que esté listo. 6 ¿Quién es esta que sube del desierto como columnas de humo, perfumada con aromas dulces, con todas las especias del comerciante? 7 Miren, es el lecho de Salomón. Lo rodean sesenta guerreros del ejército de Israel. 8 Todos están armados con espadas y entrenados para la guerra. Cada uno lleva su espada al costado, por temor a los peligros de la noche. 9 El rey Salomón se hizo un lecho de madera del Líbano. 10 Hizo sus pilares de plata, su base de oro, su asiento de púrpura y su interior de ébano. 11 Salgan, hijas de Jerusalén, y vean al rey Salomón con la corona que su madre le puso el día de su boda, el día en que su corazón se llenó de alegría.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… proclaimed by soldiers; and Jesus also must in a figure be crowned by soldiers; so that for this cause the Scripture says in the Canticles, Go forth, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, and look upon King Solomon in the crown wherewith His mother crowned Him.
