Revised Literal Translation
Song of Songs 1:4-7
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.1
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.
7TellH5046 me, O thou whom my soulH5315 lovethH157, where thou feedestH7462, whereH349 thou makest thy flock to restH7257 at noonH6672: forH4100 why should I be as one that turneth asideH5844 by the flocksH5739 of thy companionsH2270?2
