Song of Songs 1:2-6

2Let him kissH5401 me with the kissesH5390 of his mouthH6310: for thy loveH1730 is betterH2896 than wineH3196.1

3Because of the savourH7381 of thy goodH2896 ointmentsH8081 thy nameH8034 is as ointmentH8081 poured forthH7324, therefore do the virginsH5959 loveH157 thee.

4DrawH4900 me, we will runH7323 afterH310 thee: the kingH4428 hath broughtH935 me into his chambersH2315: we will be gladH1523 and rejoiceH8055 in thee, we will rememberH2142 thy loveH1730 more than wineH3196: the uprightH4339 loveH157 thee.2

5I am blackH7838, but comelyH5000, O ye daughtersH1323 of JerusalemH3389, as the tentsH168 of KedarH6938, as the curtainsH3407 of SolomonH8010.

6LookH7200 not upon me, because I am blackH7840, because the sunH8121 hath lookedH7805 upon me: my mother’sH517 childrenH1121 were angryH2787 with me; they madeH7760 me the keeperH5201 of the vineyardsH3754; but mine own vineyardH3754 have I not keptH5201.
