Young's Literal1 The song of songs, which [is] Solomon’s. 2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love [is] better than wine. 3 Because of the savour of thy good ointments thy name [is as] ointment poured forth, therefore do the virgins love thee. 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 remember thy love more than wine: the upright love thee. 5 I [am] black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon. 6 Look not upon me, because I [am] black, because the sun hath looked upon me: my mother’s children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; [but] mine own vineyard have I not kept. 7 Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where thou feedest, where thou makest [thy flock] to rest at noon: for why should I be as one that turneth aside by the flocks of thy companions? 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. 9 I have compared thee, O my love, to a company of horses in Pharaoh’s chariots. 10 Thy cheeks are comely with rows [of jewels], thy neck with chains [of gold]. 11 We will make thee borders of gold with studs of silver. 12 While the king [sitteth] at his table, my spikenard sendeth forth the smell thereof. 13 A bundle of myrrh [is] my wellbeloved unto me; he shall lie all night betwixt my breasts. 14 My beloved [is] unto me [as] a cluster of camphire in the vineyards of Engedi. 15 Behold, thou [art] fair, my love; behold, thou [art] fair; thou [hast] doves’ eyes. 16 Behold, thou [art] fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant: also our bed [is] green. 17 The beams of our house [are] cedar, [and] our rafters of fir. King James Version1 The Song of Songs, that [is] Solomon's. 2 Let him kiss me with kisses of his mouth, For better [are] thy loves than wine. 3 For fragrance [are] thy perfumes good. Perfume emptied out -- thy name, Therefore have virgins loved thee! 4 Draw me: after thee we run, The king hath brought me into his inner chambers, We do joy and rejoice in thee, We mention thy loves more than wine, Uprightly they have loved thee! 5 Dark [am] I, and comely, daughters of Jerusalem, As tents of Kedar, as curtains of Solomon. 6 Fear me not, because I [am] very dark, Because the sun hath scorched me, The sons of my mother were angry with me, They made me keeper of the vineyards, My vineyard -- my own -- I have not kept. 7 Declare to me, thou whom my soul hath loved, Where thou delightest, Where thou liest down at noon, For why am I as one veiled, By the ranks of thy companions? 8 If thou knowest not, O fair among women, Get thee forth by the traces of the flock, And feed thy kids by the shepherds' dwellings! 9 To my joyous one in chariots of Pharaoh, I have compared thee, my friend, 10 Comely have been thy cheeks with garlands, Thy neck with chains. 11 Garlands of gold we do make for thee, With studs of silver! 12 While the king [is] in his circle, My spikenard hath given its fragrance. 13 A bundle of myrrh [is] my beloved to me, Between my breasts it lodgeth. 14 A cluster of cypress [is] my beloved to me, In the vineyards of En-Gedi! 15 Lo, thou [art] fair, my friend, Lo, thou [art] fair, thine eyes [are] doves! 16 Lo, thou [art] fair, my love, yea, pleasant, Yea, our couch [is] green, 17 The beams of our houses [are] cedars, Our rafters [are] firs, I [am] a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys! |
