Song of Solomon 1

CHAPTER ONE

1The song of songs, which is Solomon’s. #1 Ki. 4:32

2Let Him kiss me with the kisses of His mouth; for Your love is better than wine. #S. of S. 4:10

3For Your ointments have a lovely fragrance; Your name is as ointment poured out; therefore the maidens love You.

4Draw me, we will run after You. The King has brought me into his chambers; we will be glad and rejoice in You, we will praise Your love more than wine; the upright love You. #Hos. 11:4; Psa. 45:14-15; John 6:44, 12:32, 14:2; Eph. 2:6; Phil. 3:12-14

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

6Do not look on me scornfully because I am dark tan, because the sun has tanned 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.

7Tell me, You Whom my soul loves, where do You feed, where do You make Your flock to rest at noon? For why should I be as one who veils herself beside the flocks of Your companions?

8If you know not, O most beautiful among women, follow in the footsteps of the flock; and feed your kids beside the shepherds’ tents. #S. of S. 5:9

9O My love, I have compared you to My mare among Pharaoh’s chariots. #S. of S. 2:2, 10, 13, 4:1, 7

10Your cheeks are beautiful with ornaments, your neck with strings of jewels. #Ezek. 16:11

11We will make you ornaments of gold with studs of silver.

12While the King is at his table, my perfume gives its fragrance.

13My Beloved is to me like a bag of myrrh that lies between my breasts.

14My Beloved is to me like a cluster of henna flowers in the vineyards of En Gedi. #S. of S. 4:13

15Behold, you are beautiful, My love; behold, you are beautiful; you have doves’ eyes. #S. of S. 4:1, 5:12

16Behold, You are beautiful, my Beloved, yea, pleasant. Also our bed is luxuriant.

17The beams of our house are cedar, and our rafters are of fir.
