1The Song of Songs, which is Solomon’s.[#1 Kgs. 4:32]
2Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth!
For your love is better than wine;
3your anointing oils are fragrant;[#Luke 7:46; John 12:3]
your name is oil poured out;
therefore virgins love you.
4Draw me after you; let us run.[#Hos. 11:4; John 6:44; 12:32; #Ps. 119:32; Phil. 3:12-14]
The king has brought me into his chambers.
We will exult and rejoice in you;
we will extol your love more than wine;
rightly do they love you.
5I am very dark, but lovely,[#2:14; 4:3; 6:4]
O daughters of Jerusalem,
like the tents of Kedar,
like the curtains of Solomon.
6Do 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 keeper of the vineyards,
but my own vineyard I have not kept!
7Tell me, you whom my soul loves,[#3:1-4]
where you pasture your flock,
where you make it lie down at noon;
for why should I be like one who veils herself
beside the flocks of your companions?
8If you do not know,
O most beautiful among women,
follow in the tracks of the flock,
and pasture your young goats
beside the shepherds’ tents.
9I compare you, my love,[#15]
to a mare among Pharaoh’s chariots.
10Your cheeks are lovely with ornaments,[#5:13]
your neck with strings of jewels.
11We will make for you ornaments of gold,[#1:11 The Hebrew for is feminine singular]
studded with silver.
12While the king was on his couch,[#4]
my nard gave forth its fragrance.
13My beloved is to me a sachet of myrrh[#Ps. 45:8; John 19:39]
that lies between my breasts.
14My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blossoms[#4:13]
in the vineyards of Engedi.
15Behold, you are beautiful, my love;[#4:1; #Ezek. 16:13; #9; 2:2, 10, 13; 4:1, 7; 5:2; 6:4]
behold, you are beautiful;
your eyes are doves.
16Behold, you are beautiful, my beloved, truly delightful.[#2:3; #2 Sam. 1:23, 26]
Our couch is green;
17the beams of our house are cedar;[#Isa. 37:24; 60:13; Ezek. 31:8]
our rafters are pine.
