Song of Solomon Chapter 1

Son 1:1 The Song of songs, which is Solomon’s.
Son 1:2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine.
Son 1:3 Thine ointments have a goodly fragrance; thy name is [as] ointment poured forth; therefore do the virgins love thee.
Son 1:4 Draw me; we will run after thee: the king hath brought me into his chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in thee, we will make mention of thy love more than of wine: rightly do they love thee.
Son 1:5 I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.
Son 1:6 Look not upon me, because I am swarthy, because the sun hath scorched me. My mother’s sons were incensed against me, they made me keeper of the vineyards; [but] mine own vineyard have I not kept.
Son 1:7 Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where thou feedest [thy flock], where thou makest [it] to rest at noon: for why should I be as one that is veiled beside the flocks of thy companions?
Son 1:8 If thou know not, O thou fairest among women, go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock, and feed thy kids beside the shepherds’ tents.
Son 1:9 I have compared thee, O my love, to a steed in Pharaoh’s chariots.
Son 1:10 Thy cheeks are comely with plaits [of hair], thy neck with strings of jewels
Son 1:11 We will make thee plaits of gold with studs of silver.
Son 1:12 While the king sat at his table, my spikenard sent forth its fragrance.
Son 1:13 My beloved is unto me [as] a bundle of myrrh, that lieth betwixt my breasts.
Son 1:14 My beloved is unto me [as] a cluster of henna–flowers in the vineyards of En–gedi.
Son 1:15 Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thine eyes are [as] doves.
Son 1:16 Behold, thou art fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant: also our couch is green.
Son 1:17 The beams of our house are cedars, [and] our rafters are firs.
