Song of Solomon 7:1-7

1 Shapely and graceful your sandaled feet, and queenly your movement - Your limbs are lithe and elegant, the work of a master artist.

2 Your body is a chalice, wine-filled. Your skin is silken and tawny like a field of wheat touched by the breeze.

3 Your breasts are like fawns, twins of a gazelle.

4 Your neck is carved ivory, curved and slender. Your eyes are wells of light, deep with mystery. Quintessentially feminine! Your profile turns all heads, commanding attention.

5 The feelings I get when I see the high mountain ranges - stirrings of desire, longings for the heights - Remind me of you, and I'm spoiled for anyone else!

6 Your beauty, within and without, is absolute, dear lover, close companion.

7 You are tall and supple, like the palm tree, and your full breasts are like sweet clusters of dates.

Song of Solomon 7:1-7 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO SONG OF SOLOMON 7

In this chapter Christ gives a fresh commendation of the beauty of his church, in a different order and method than before; beginning with her "feet", and so rising upwards to the "hair" of her head, and the roof of her mouth, So 7:1-9; And then the church asserts her interest in him, and his desire towards her, So 7:10; and invites him to go with her into the fields, villages, and vineyards, and offers various reasons, by which she urges him to comply with her invitation, So 7:11-13.
