Revised Literal Translation
Song of Songs 1:6-9
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?1
8If thou knowH3045 not, O thou fairestH3303 among womenH802, go thy way forthH3318 by the footstepsH6119 of the flockH6629, and feedH7462 thy kidsH1429 beside the shepherds’H7462 tentsH4908. 9I have comparedH1819 thee, O my loveH7474, to a company of horsesH5484 in Pharaoh’sH6547 chariotsH7393.
