Song of Solomon 5:4

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

My beloved put his hand to the latch; my heart pounded for him.

In context

2 I sleep, but my heart is awake. A sound! My beloved is knocking: “Open to me, my sister, my darling, my dove, my flawless one. My head is drenched with dew, my hair with the dampness of the night.”

3 I have taken off my robe— must I put it back on? I have washed my feet— must I soil them again?

4 My beloved put his hand to the latch; my heart pounded for him.

5 I rose up to open for my beloved. My hands dripped with myrrh, my fingers with flowing myrrh on the handles of the bolt.

6 I opened for my beloved, but he had turned and gone. My heart sank at his departure. I sought him, but did not find him. I called, but he did not answer.
