Song of Solomon 1

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 The Ultimate Song, by Shlomo:

2 [She] Let him smother me with kisses from his mouth, for your love is better than wine.

3 Your anointing oils have a wonderful fragrance; your name is like anointing oil poured out. This is why young women love you

4 "Take me with you. We will run after you." The king has brought me into his rooms. [Chorus] We will be glad and rejoice for you. We will praise your love more than wine. How right it is for them to love you!

5 [She] I am dark tan but beautiful, you daughters of Yerushalayim, like the tents of Kedar, like the curtains of Shlomo.

6 Don't stare at me because I'm dark; it's the sun that tanned me. My mother's sons were angry with me and made me look after the vineyards. But I haven't cared for my own vineyard.

7 Tell me, my love, where you pasture your flock, where you have them rest at noon; for why should I veil myself [like a whore] beside the flocks of your friends?

8 [Chorus] If you do not know, you most beautiful of women, then follow the footprints of the flock and let your kids graze by the shepherds' tents.

9 [He] My love, I compare you with my mare, pulling one of Pharaoh's chariots

10 your cheeks are lovely with ornaments, your neck with its strings of beads;

11 we will make you ornaments of gold, studded with silver.

12 [She] As the king reclines at table, my nard gives forth its perfume:

13 to me the man I love is a sachet of myrrh lodged between my breasts;

14 to me the man I love is a spray of henna flowers in the vineyards of 'Ein-Gedi.

15 [He] Look at you, my love! How beautiful you are! Your eyes are doves

16 [She] - Look at you! So handsome, so pleasing, my darling! Our bed is the greenery;

17 cedars are the beams of our houses, cypresses the rafters.

King James Version KJV

1 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.
