Book 22 Song of Solomon Chapter 001
| |
| 001:001 | The song of songs, which is Solomon's.
|
| 001:002 | Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine.
|
| 001:003 | Because of the savour of thy good ointments thy name is as ointment poured forth, therefore do the virgins love thee.
|
| 001:004 | 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.
|
| 001:005 | I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.
|
| 001:006 | 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.
|
| 001:007 | 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?
|
| 001:008 | 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.
|
| 001:009 | I have compared thee, O my love, to a company of horses in Pharaoh's chariots.
|
| 001:010 | Thy cheeks are comely with rows of jewels, thy neck with chains of gold.
|
| 001:011 | We will make thee borders of gold with studs of silver.
|
| 001:012 | While the king sitteth at his table, my spikenard sendeth forth the smell thereof.
|
| 001:013 | A bundle of myrrh is my well-beloved unto me; he shall lie all night betwixt my breasts.
|
| 001:014 | My beloved is unto me as a cluster of camphire in the vineyards of Engedi.
|
| 001:015 | Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves' eyes.
|
| 001:016 | Behold, thou art fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant: also our bed is green.
|
| 001:017 | The beams of our house are cedar, and our rafters of fir. |
