Song of Songs Chapter 1

Revised Version 1895

1The SongH7892 of songsH7892, whichH834 is Solomon’sH8010. 2Let him kiss meH3588 with the kissesH5390 of his mouthH6310: for thy loveH1730 is betterH2896 thanH2896 wineH3196. 3Thine ointments have a goodly fragrance; thy nameH8034 is as ointmentH8081 poured forth; therefore do the virgins loveH157 thee. 4DrawH4900 meH935; we will runH7323 afterH310 thee: the kingH4428 hath broughtH935 meH935 intoH935 his chambersH2315: we will be gladH8055 and rejoiceH8055 in thee, we will makeH8055 mentionH2142 of thy loveH157 more thanH4428 of wineH3196: rightlyH4339 doH935 they loveH157 thee. 5I am blackH7838, but comelyH5000, O ye daughtersH1323 of JerusalemH3389, as the tentsH168 of KedarH6938, as the curtainsH3407 of SolomonH8010. 6LookH7200 notH3808 uponH7200 meH7760, because I am swarthyH7840, because the sunH8121 hath scorchedH2787 meH7760. My mother’sH517 sonsH1121 were incensed against meH7760, they madeH7760 meH7760 keeper of the vineyardsH3754; but mine own vineyardH3754 have I notH3808 kept. 7TellH5046 meH5315, O thou whom my soulH5315 loveth, whereH4100 thou feedest thy flockH5739, whereH4100 thou makest it to restH7257 at noonH6672: for whyH4100 should I be as one that is veiled besideH5921 the flocksH5739 of thy companionsH2270? 8IfH518 thou knowH3045 notH3808, O thou fairest among womenH802, goH3318 thy wayH5921 forthH3318 by the footstepsH6119 of the flockH6629, and feedH7462 thy kids besideH5921 the shepherds’ tentsH4908. 9I have comparedH1819 thee, O my love, to a steed in Pharaoh’sH6547 chariotsH7393. 10Thy cheeksH3895 are comely with plaits of hair, thy neckH6677 with stringsH2737 of jewels 11WeH6213 will makeH6213 thee plaits of goldH2091 with studs of silverH3701. 12WhileH5704 the kingH4428 sat at his tableH4524, my spikenard sentH5414 forthH5414 itsH5414 fragrance. 13My belovedH1730 is unto me as a bundle of myrrhH4753, that lieth betwixt my breastsH7699. 14My belovedH1730 is unto me as a clusterH811 of henna-flowers in the vineyardsH3754 of En-gedi. 15BeholdH2005, thou art fairH3303, my love; beholdH2005, thou art fairH3303; thine eyesH5869 are as dovesH3123. 16BeholdH2005, thou art fairH3303, my belovedH1730, yea, pleasantH5273: also our couchH6210 is greenH7488. 17The beamsH6982 of our houseH1004 are cedarsH730, and our raftersH7351 are firs.
