The Song of Songs 1

1 This is King Solomon’s most beautiful song.

The

2 I wish he would kiss me on my lips,

The

because how you love me is more delightful than wine.

3 The fragrance of the perfume on your skin is very pleasing.

More and more people are honoring you,

just as the fragrance of the perfume that you have put on your skin is spreading farther and farther.

That is why the other young women are attracted to you.

4 Take me quickly;

take me to your home.

The

He is like a king to me;

I desire him to bring me into his bedroom.

The

We are very happy about you;

we say that how you love is better than wine.

The

It is not surprising that the young women adore you.

The

5 You young women of Jerusalem,

I am brown but beautiful;

my dark skin is like the tents in Kedar,

and I am beautiful like the curtains in Solomon’s palace.

6 But do not stare at me because the sun has made my skin dark;

my brothers were angry with me,

so they forced me to work outside in the sunshine in the vineyards,

so I was not able to take good care of my skin.

The

7 You whom I love, where will you take your flock of sheep today?

Where will you allow them to rest at noontime?

I want to know because it is not right for me to wander around like a prostitute,

looking for you among the flocks that belong to your friends.

The

8 You who are the most beautiful of all the women,

if you search for me and do not know where I will take my sheep,

follow the tracks of the sheep.

Then allow your young goats to eat grass near the shepherds’ tents.

9 You excite me, my dear one,

like a mare walking among Pharoah’s stallions.

10 Your cheeks are lovely with jewelry,

and your neck is lovely with strings of beads around it.

11 We will make for you some gold earrings

that are inlaid with silver.

The

12 During the time that he who is like a king to me reclined on his couch,

the fragrance of my perfume spread around the room.

13 During the night I desire to cradle the man I love between my breasts; to me, he is like the bag of sweet-smelling perfume which I keep there.

14 The man whom I love is like a bunch of the fragrant flowers that are in the grape farms of the city of En Gedi.

The

15 My dear one, you are beautiful;

you are very beautiful!

Your eyes are as gentle and beautiful as doves.

The

16 You whom I love, you are very good-looking,

you are delightful!

The green grass will be like a bed where we lie down.

17 Branches of cedar trees will shade us;

branches of pine trees will be like a roof over our heads.
