Song of Songs Chapter 1

1The songH7892 of songsH7892, which is Solomon's. 2Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouthH6310; For thy love is betterH2896 than wineH3196. 3Thine ointments savour sweetly; Thy nameH8034 is an ointment poured forth: ThereforeH3651 do the virgins loveH157 thee. 4DrawH4900 me, we will runH7323 after thee! — The kingH4428 hath broughtH935 me into his chambersH2315 — We will be gladH8055 and rejoiceH8055 in thee, We will rememberH2142 thy loveH157 more than wineH3196. They loveH157 thee uprightly. 5I am blackH7838, but comely, daughtersH1323 of JerusalemH3389, As the tentsH168 of KedarH6938, As the curtainsH3407 of SolomonH8010. 6LookH7200 not upon me, because I am black; Because the sunH8121 hath lookedH7200 upon me. My mother's children were angry with me: They madeH7760 me keeper of the vineyardsH3754; Mine own vineyardH3754 have I not kept. 7TellH5046 me, thou whom my soulH5315 loveth, Where thou feedest [thy flockH5739], Where thou makest it to rest at noonH6672; For whyH4100 should I beH1961 as one veiled Beside the flocksH5739 of thy companionsH2270? 8If thou knowH3045 not, thou fairest among womenH802, GoH3318 thy way forthH3318 by the footsteps of the flockH6629, And feedH7462 thy kids beside the shepherds' booths. 9I compare thee, my love, To a steed in Pharaoh's chariotsH7393. 10Thy cheeksH3895 are comely with bead-rows, Thy neckH6677 with ornamental chains. 11We will makeH6213 thee bead-rows of goldH2091 With studs of silverH3701. 12While the kingH4428 is at his table, My spikenard sendeth forth its fragrance. 13A bundle of myrrhH4753 is my beloved unto me; He shall pass the night between my breastsH7699. 14My beloved is unto me a clusterH811 of henna-flowers In the vineyardsH3754 of Engedi. 15Behold, thou art fair, my love; Behold, thou art fair: thine eyesH5869 are dovesH3123. 16Behold, thou art fair, my beloved, yea, pleasantH5273; AlsoH637 our bed is green. 17The beamsH6982 of our housesH1004 are cedarsH730, Our rafters are cypresses.
