Song of Solomon 1 |
| 1 |
The song of songs, which is Solomon's. |
| 2 |
Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is
better than wine. |
| 3 |
Because of the savour of thy good ointments thy name is as
ointment poured forth, therefore do the virgins love thee. |
| 4 |
Draw 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. |
| 5 |
I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the
tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon. |
| 6 |
Look 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. |
| 7 |
Tell 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? |
| 8 |
If 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. |
| 9 |
I have compared thee, O my love, to a company of horses in
Pharaoh's chariots. |
| 10 |
Thy cheeks are comely with rows of jewels, thy neck with
chains of gold. |
| 11 |
We will make thee borders of gold with studs of silver. |
| 12 |
While the king sitteth at his table, my spikenard sendeth
forth the smell thereof. |
| 13 |
A bundle of myrrh is my well-beloved unto me; he shall lie
all night betwixt my breasts. |
| 14 |
My beloved is unto me as a cluster of camphire in the
vineyards of Engedi. |
| 15 |
Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou
hast doves' eyes. |
| 16 |
Behold, thou art fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant: also our
bed is green. |
| 17 |
The beams of our house are cedar, and our rafters of
fir. |
