Song of solomon
Chapter 1
Song:1:1: The song of songs, which is Solomon’s.
Song:1:2: Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine.
Song:1:3: Because of the savour of thy good ointments thy name is as ointment poured forth, therefore do the virgins love thee.
Song:1:4: 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.
Song:1:5: I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.
Song:1:6: 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.
Song:1:7: 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?
Song:1:8: 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.
Song:1:9: I have compared thee, O my love, to a company of horses in Pharaoh’s chariots.
Song:1:10: Thy cheeks are comely with rows of jewels, thy neck with chains of gold.
Song:1:11: We will make thee borders of gold with studs of silver.
Song:1:12: While the king sitteth at his table, my spikenard sendeth forth the smell thereof.
Song:1:13: A bundle of myrrh is my wellbeloved unto me; he shall lie all night betwixt my breasts.
Song:1:14: My beloved is unto me as a cluster of camphire in the vineyards of En-gedi.
Song:1:15: Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves’ eyes.
Song:1:16: Behold, thou art fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant: also our bed is green.
Song:1:17: The beams of our house are cedar, and our rafters of fir.
Chapter 2
Song:2:1: I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.
Song:2:2: As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.
Song:2:3: As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.
