1Verse 1The Song of songs, which is Solomon’s.Verse 2Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth;for your love is better than wine.Verse 3Your oils have a pleasing fragrance.Your name is oil poured out, therefore the virgins love you.Verse 4Take me away with you.Let’s hurry. The king has brought me into his rooms.FriendsWe will be glad and rejoice in you.We will praise your love more than wine!BelovedThey are right to love you. Verse 5I am dark, but lovely,you daughters of Jerusalem, like Kedar’s tents, like Solomon’s curtains.Verse 6Don’t stare at me because I am dark,because the sun has scorched me.My mother’s sons were angry with me.They made me keeper of the vineyards. I haven’t kept my own vineyard.Verse 7Tell me, you whom my soul loves,where you graze your flock, where you rest them at noon; for why should I be as one who is veiled beside the flocks of your companions?Verse 8If you don’t know, most beautiful among women,follow the tracks of the sheep. Graze your young goats beside the shepherds’ tents.Verse 9I have compared you, my love,to a steed in Pharaoh’s chariots.Verse 10Your cheeks are beautiful with earrings,your neck with strings of jewels.Verse 11We will make you earrings of gold,with studs of silver.Verse 12While the king sat at his table,my perfume spread its fragrance.Verse 13My beloved is to me a sachet of myrrh,that lies between my breasts.Verse 14My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blossomsfrom the vineyards of En Gedi.Verse 15Behold,+you are beautiful, my love.Behold, you are beautiful. Your eyes are like doves.Verse 16Behold, you are beautiful, my beloved, yes, pleasant;and our couch is verdant.Verse 17The beams of our house are cedars.Our rafters are firs.

Verse 5I am dark, but lovely,you daughters of Jerusalem,
like Kedar’s tents,
like Solomon’s curtains.Verse 6Don’t stare at me because I am dark,because the sun has scorched me.My mother’s sons were angry with me.They made me keeper of the vineyards.
I haven’t kept my own vineyard.Verse 7Tell me, you whom my soul loves,where you graze your flock,
where you rest them at noon;
for why should I be as one who is veiled
beside the flocks of your companions?Verse 8If you don’t know, most beautiful among women,follow the tracks of the sheep.
Graze your young goats beside the shepherds’ tents.Verse 9I have compared you, my love,to a steed in Pharaoh’s chariots.Verse 10Your cheeks are beautiful with earrings,your neck with strings of jewels.Verse 11We will make you earrings of gold,with studs of silver.Verse 12While the king sat at his table,my perfume spread its fragrance.Verse 13My beloved is to me a sachet of myrrh,that lies between my breasts.Verse 14My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blossomsfrom the vineyards of En Gedi.Verse 15Behold,+you are beautiful, my love.Behold, you are beautiful.
Your eyes are like doves.Verse 16Behold, you are beautiful, my beloved, yes, pleasant;and our couch is verdant.Verse 17The beams of our house are cedars.Our rafters are firs.
