Song of Songs 1:1

1 Solomon's Finest Song[a]

Song of Songs 1:1 In-Context

1 Solomon's Finest Song
2 Oh, that he would kiss me with the kisses of his mouth! For your love is more delightful than wine.
3 The fragrance of your perfume is intoxicating; your name is perfume poured out. No wonder young women adore you.
4 Take me with you-let us hurry. Oh, that the king would bring me to his chambers. We will rejoice and be glad for you; we will praise your love more than wine. It is only right that they adore you.
5 Daughters of Jerusalem, I am dark like the tents of Kedar, yet lovely like the curtains of Solomon.
