Song of Solomon

Chapter 1

New King James Version

1The song of songs, which [is] Solomon's. THE SHULAMITE 2Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth -- For your love [is] better than wine. 3Because of the fragrance of your good ointments, Your name [is] ointment poured forth; Therefore the virgins love you. 4Draw me away! THE DAUGHTERS OF JERUSALEM We will run after you. THE SHULAMITE The king has brought me into his chambers. THE DAUGHTERS OF JERUSALEM We will be glad and rejoice in you. We will remember your love more than wine. THE SHULAMITE Rightly do they love you. 5I [am] dark, but lovely, O daughters of Jerusalem, Like the tents of Kedar, Like the curtains of Solomon. 6Do not look upon me, because I [am] dark, 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. (TO HER BELOVED) 7Tell me, O you whom I love, Where you feed [your flock,] Where you make [it] rest at noon. For why should I be as one who veils herself By the flocks of your companions? THE BELOVED 8If you do not know, O fairest among women, Follow in the footsteps of the flock, And feed your little goats Beside the shepherds' tents. 9I have compared you, my love, To my filly among Pharaoh's chariots. 10Your cheeks are lovely with ornaments, Your neck with chains [of gold.] THE DAUGHTERS OF JERUSALEM 11We will make you ornaments of gold With studs of silver. THE SHULAMITE 12While the king [is] at his table, My spikenard sends forth its fragrance. 13A bundle of myrrh [is] my beloved to me, That lies all night between my breasts. 14My beloved [is] to me a cluster of henna [blooms] In the vineyards of En Gedi. THE BELOVED 15Behold, you [are] fair, my love! Behold, you [are] fair! You [have] dove's eyes. THE SHULAMITE 16Behold, you [are] handsome, my beloved! Yes, pleasant! Also our bed [is] green. 17The beams of our houses [are] cedar, [And] our rafters of fir.
