Song of Solomon 1
1The song of songs, which is Solomon’s.2Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine.3Because of the savour of thy good ointments thy name is as ointment poured forth, therefore do the virgins love thee.4Draw me, we will run after thee: the king hath brought me into his chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in thee, we will remember thy love more than wine: the upright love thee.5I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.6Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me: my mother’s children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept.7Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where thou feedest, where thou makest thy flock to rest at noon: for why should I be as one that turneth aside by the flocks of thy companions?8If thou know not, O thou fairest among women, go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock, and feed thy kids beside the shepherds’ tents.9I have compared thee, O my love, to a company of horses in Pharaoh’s chariots.10Thy cheeks are comely with rows of jewels, thy neck with chains of gold.11We will make thee borders of gold with studs of silver.12While the king sitteth at his table, my spikenard sendeth forth the smell thereof.13A bundle of myrrh is my wellbeloved unto me; he shall lie all night betwixt my breasts.14My beloved is unto me as a cluster of camphire in the vineyards of En–gedi.15Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves’ eyes.16Behold, thou art fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant: also our bed is green.17The beams of our house are cedar, and our rafters of fir.
1The Song of songs, which is Solomon's. Beloved2Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth; For your love is better than wine.3Your oils have a pleasing fragrance. Your name is oil poured forth, Therefore the virgins love you.4Take me away with you. Let us hurry. The king has brought me into his chambers. Friends We will be glad and rejoice in you. We will praise your love more than wine! Beloved They are right to love you.5I am dark, but lovely, You daughters of Jerusalem, Like Kedar's tents, Like Solomon's curtains.6Don't stare at me because I am dark, Because the sun has scorched me. My mother's sons were angry with me. They made me keeper of the vineyards. I haven't kept my own vineyard.7Tell me, you whom my soul loves, Where you graze your flock, Where you rest them at noon; For why should I be as one who is veiled Beside the flocks of your companions? Lover8If you don't know, most beautiful among women, Follow the tracks of the sheep. Graze your young goats beside the shepherds' tents.9I have compared you, my love, To a steed in Pharaoh's chariots.10Your cheeks are beautiful with earrings, Your neck with strings of jewels.11We will make you earrings of gold, With studs of silver. Beloved12While the king sat at his table, My perfume spread its fragrance.13My beloved is to me a sachet of myrrh, That lies between my breasts.14My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blossoms From the vineyards of En Gedi. Lover15Behold, you are beautiful, my love. Behold, you are beautiful. Your eyes are doves. Beloved16Behold, you are beautiful, my beloved, yes, pleasant; And our couch is verdant. Lover17The beams of our house are cedars. Our rafters are firs. Beloved
