Song Of Solomon 1

The Young Shulammite Bride and Jerusalem’s Daughters

¹The Song of Songs, which is Solomon’s. The Bride

²¶“May he kiss me with the kisses of his mouth! For your love is sweeter than wine.

³“Your oils have a pleasing fragrance, Your name is like purified oil; Therefore the young women love you.

⁴“Draw me after you and let’s run together! The king has brought me into his chambers.” The Chorus “We will rejoice in you and be joyful; We will praise your love more than wine. Rightly do they love you.” The Bride

⁵¶“I am black and beautiful, You daughters of Jerusalem, Like the tents of Kedar, Like the curtains of Solomon.

⁶“Do not stare at me because I am dark, For the sun has tanned me. My mother’s sons were angry with me; They made me caretaker of the vineyards, But I have not taken care of my own vineyard.

⁷“Tell me, you whom my soul loves, Where do you pasture your flock, Where do you have it lie down at noon? For why should I be like one who veils herself Beside the flocks of your companions?”

Solomon, the Lover, Speaks

⁸¶“If you yourself do not know, Most beautiful among women, Go out on the trail of the flock, And pasture your young goats By the tents of the shepherds.

⁹¶“To me, my darling, you are like My mare among the chariots of Pharaoh.

¹⁰“Your cheeks are delightful with jewelry, Your neck with strings of beads.” The Chorus

¹¹¶“We will make for you jewelry of gold With beads of silver.” The Bride

¹²¶“While the king was at his table, My perfume gave forth its fragrance.

¹³“My beloved is to me a pouch of myrrh Which lies all night between my breasts.

¹⁴“My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blossoms In the vineyards of Engedi.” The Groom

¹⁵¶“How beautiful you are, my darling, How beautiful you are! Your eyes are like doves.” The Bride

¹⁶¶“How handsome you are, my beloved, And so delightful! Indeed, our bed is luxuriant!

¹⁷“The beams of our house are cedars, Our rafters, junipers.
