MSG ^(1-12)Shapely and graceful your sandaled feet,
  and queenly your movement—
Your limbs are lithe and elegant,
  the work of a master artist.
Your body is a chalice,
  wine-filled.
Your skin is silken and tawny
  like a field of wheat touched by the breeze.
Your breasts are like fawns,
  twins of a gazelle.
Your neck is carved ivory, curved and slender.
  Your eyes are wells of light, deep with mystery.
  Quintessentially feminine!
Your profile turns all heads,
  commanding attention.
The feelings I get when I see the high mountain ranges
  —stirrings of desire, longings for the heights—
Remind me of you,
  and I’m spoiled for anyone else!
Your beauty, within and without, is absolute,
  dear lover, close companion.
You are tall and supple, like the palm tree,
  and your full breasts are like sweet clusters of dates.
I say, “I’m going to climb that palm tree!
  I’m going to caress its fruit!”
Oh yes! Your breasts
  will be clusters of sweet fruit to me,
Your breath clean and cool like fresh mint,
  your tongue and lips like the best wine.

7.7 Statuta tua. Quia Ecclesia in certamine præsentis vitæ gaudia futuræ vitæ prægustat, subditur: Assimilata est palmæ. Hæc est rectitudo bonæ operationis, quæ ad terrena despicit incurvari, totam se ad cœlestia erigit, et in certamine posita tendit ad bravium, quo finito agone, victrix donanda est palma. In inferioribus aspera est, sed desuper pulchra est, et fructum gerit. Sic Ecclesia in terra asperos tolerat labores, sed sperat in cœlo se accepturam præmium. Palma conservat folia: sic Ecclesia, variante sæculi statu, eadem tenet fidei sacramenta. Ubera. Id est, magistri, qui pro capacitate audientium suam temperant doctrinam, et unumquemque ad sublimia ab ubertate domus Dei inebriant Psal. 35., et corda exhilarant.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

זֹ֤את קֽוֹמָתֵ⁠ךְ֙ דָּֽמְתָ֣ה לְ⁠תָמָ֔ר

(Some words not found in UHB: what? beautiful and,how pleasant love in/on/at/with,delights )

The point of this comparison is that the woman is tall like a palm tree. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the point of comparison explicitly as modeled by the UST or express this meaning in plain language. Alternate translation: “You are tall”

Note 2 topic: translate-unknown

לְ⁠תָמָ֔ר & לְ⁠אַשְׁכֹּלֽוֹת׃

(Some words not found in UHB: what? beautiful and,how pleasant love in/on/at/with,delights )

Here, the term palm tree refers to specifically to a date palm, which is the type of palm tree that produces dates. Date palm trees are tall and thin and produce a small sweet brown fruit called a date. The term clusters refers to the clusters of dates that hang down from a date palm tree. If your readers would not be familiar with this type of tree or its fruit, you could use the name of something similar in your area or you could use a more general term or you could explain what a date palm is and the type of fruit it produces in a footnote. Alternate translation: “a tall and slender fruit tree … its clusters of fruit” or “a tall fruit tree … like its clusters of delicious fruit”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

וְ⁠שָׁדַ֖יִ⁠ךְ לְ⁠אַשְׁכֹּלֽוֹת

(Some words not found in UHB: what? beautiful and,how pleasant love in/on/at/with,delights )

The point of this comparison is that the woman’s breasts are plump and nicely rounded like the clusters of dates that grow on and hang down from date palm trees. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the point of comparison explicitly or you could express this meaning in plain language. Alternate translation: “and your breasts are plump and round” or “and your breasts are plump and round like its clusters”
