I will go to the mountain of myrrh
    and the hill of frankincense.
I will stay among them until the dawn comes
    and the shadows go away.

    Your body is perfect in every way.

    Come down from the highest part of Hermon.[a]
Come away from those mountains where lions live,
    and where there are leopards.
