Song of Solomon 1:1-7 (New Revised Standard)
View In My Bible
1
The Song of Songs, which is Solomon's.
2
Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth! For your love is better than wine,
3
your anointing oils are fragrant, your name is perfume poured out; therefore the maidens love you.
4
Draw me after you, let us make haste. The king has brought me into his chambers. We will exult and rejoice in you; we will extol your love more than wine; rightly do they love you.
5
I am black and beautiful, O daughters of Jerusalem, like the tents of Kedar, like the curtains of Solomon.
6
Do not gaze at me because I am dark, because the sun has gazed on me. My mother's sons were angry with me; they made me keeper of the vineyards, but my own vineyard I have not kept!
7
Tell me, you whom my soul loves, where you pasture your flock, where you make it lie down at noon; for why should I be like one who is veiled beside the flocks of your companions?
