Songs 1

Introduction
1#1Ki 4:32The Song of Songs, which is Solomon’s.
The Woman
2#SS 4:10; 1:4 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth!
For your love is better than wine.
3#Ecc 7:1; Ps 45:14 Your anointing oils are fragrant,
your name is oil poured out;
therefore the virgins love you.
4#Ps 45:14–15; 119:32 Draw me after you, let us run.
The king has brought me into his chambers.
Friends of the Woman
We will exult and rejoice in you;
we will remember your love more than wine;
rightly do they love you.
The Woman
5#Ps 120:5; SS 2:7 I am dark, but still lovely, O daughters of Jerusalem,
like the tents of Kedar,
like the curtains of Solomon.
6#Ps 69:8; SS 8:11–12 Do 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 the keeper of the vineyards,
but my own vineyard I have not kept.
7#SS 3:1–4; Ps 23:1–2 Tell 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 by the flocks of your companions?
Friends of the Woman
8#SS 5:9; 6:1 If you do not know, O fairest among women,
follow in the tracks of the flock,
and pasture your young goats
beside the shepherds’ tents.
The Man
9#SS 2:2; 2:10 I compare you, my love, to a mare among Pharaoh’s chariots.
10#SS 5:13; Eze 16:11–13 Lovely are your cheeks with ornaments,
your neck with chains of gold.
Friends of the Woman
11We will make you ornaments of gold,
with studs of silver.
The Woman
12#Jn 12:3 While the king was on his couch,
my nard gave forth its fragrance.
13#Ps 45:8; Jn 19:39 My beloved is to me a bundle of myrrh
that lies all night between my breasts.
14My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blossoms
in the vineyards of En Gedi.
The Man
15#SS 4:1; 5:12; 4:7 How fair you are, my love.
How fair you are! Your eyes are doves.
The Woman
16#SS 2:3 How fair you are, my beloved!
Yes, pleasant!
Our bed is verdant;
17the beams of our house are cedar,
and our rafters of fir.

Shir haShirim (Song of Songs) 1
1
1The song of songs, which is Shelomoh’s.
2Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth, For your carnal-love are better than wine.
3For fragrance your oils are good. Your name is oil poured forth,#See Eccl. 7:1 Therefore the young women#See Explanatory Notes "Maiden" love you.
4Draw me! We run after you. The sovereign has brought me into his inner rooms. We exult and rejoice in you. We praise your carnal-love more than wine. Rightly do they love you.
5I am dark, but lovely, O daughters of Yerushalayim, Like the tents of Qĕḏar, Like the curtains of Shelomoh.
6Do not look upon me, because I am dark, Because the sun has tanned me. My mother’s sons were displeased with me. They made me the keeper of the vineyards, My own vineyard I have not kept.
7Make known to me, O you whom my being loves, Where you feed your flock, Where you make it rest at noon. For why should I be as one who is veiled Beside the flocks of your companions?
8If you do not know, O beautiful among women, Go in the footsteps of the flock, And feed your little goats beside the shepherds’ dwellings.
9I have compared you, my love, To my filly among Pharaoh’s chariots.
10Your cheeks are pretty with ornaments, Your neck with strings of beads.
11Let us make you ornaments of gold with studs of silver.
12While the sovereign is at his table, My nard shall give its fragrance.
13My beloved is a bundle of myrrh to me, Lying between my breasts.
14My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blooms In the vineyards of Ěn Geḏi.
15See, you are beautiful, my love! See, you are beautiful! Your eyes are as doves.
16See, you are handsome, my beloved! Yes, pleasant! Also our bed is green.
17The beams of our houses are cedar, our rafters are of fir.
