The Song of Solomon 1

She
²Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth!
For your love is better than wine;

³your anointing oils are fragrant;
your name is oil poured out;
therefore virgins love you.

⁴ Draw me after you; let us run.
The king has brought me into his chambers.

Others
We will exult and rejoice in you;
we will extol your love more than wine;
rightly do they love you.

She
⁵I am very dark, but lovely,
O daughters of Jerusalem,
like the tents of Kedar,
like the curtains of Solomon.

⁶Do not gaze at me because I am dark,
because the sun has looked upon me.
My mother’s sons were angry with me;
they made me keeper of the vineyards,
but my own vineyard I have not kept!

⁷Tell me, you whom my soul loves,
where you pasture your flock,
where you make it lie down at noon;
for why should I be like one who veils herself
beside the flocks of your companions?

He
⁸If you do not know,
O most beautiful among women,
follow in the tracks of the flock,
and pasture your young goats
beside the shepherds’ tents.

⁹I compare you, my love,
to a mare among Pharaoh’s chariots.

¹⁰ Your cheeks are lovely with ornaments,
your neck with strings of jewels.

Others
¹¹We will make for you ornaments of gold,
studded with silver.

She
¹²While the king was on his couch,
my nard gave forth 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
in the vineyards of Engedi.

He
¹⁵ Behold, you are beautiful, my love;
behold, you are beautiful;
your eyes are doves.

She
¹⁶Behold, you are beautiful, my beloved, truly delightful.
Our couch is green;

¹⁷the beams of our house are cedar;
our rafters are pine.
