Song of Solomon 1

Good News Translation GNT

1 The most beautiful of songs, by Solomon.

2 Your lips cover me with kisses; your love is better than wine.

3 There is a fragrance about you; the sound of your name recalls it. No woman could keep from loving you.

4 Take me with you, and we'll run away; be my king and take me to your room. We will be happy together, drink deep, and lose ourselves in love. No wonder all women love you!

5 Women of Jerusalem, I am dark but beautiful, dark as the desert tents of Kedar, but beautiful as the draperies in Solomon's palace.

6 Don't look down on me because of my color, because the sun has tanned me. My brothers were angry with me and made me work in the vineyard. I had no time to care for myself.

7 Tell me, my love, Where will you lead your flock to graze? Where will they rest from the noonday sun? Why should I need to look for you among the flocks of the other shepherds?

8 Don't you know the place, loveliest of women? Go and follow the flock; find pasture for your goats near the tents of the shepherds.

9 You, my love, excite men as a mare excites the stallions of Pharaoh's chariots.

10 Your hair is beautiful upon your cheeks and falls along your neck like jewels.

11 But we will make for you a chain of gold with ornaments of silver.

12 My king was lying on his couch, and my perfume filled the air with fragrance.

13 My lover has the scent of myrrh as he lies upon my breasts.

14 My lover is like the wild flowers that bloom in the vineyards at Engedi.

15 How beautiful you are, my love; how your eyes shine with love!

16 How handsome you are, my dearest; how you delight me! The green grass will be our bed;

17 the cedars will be the beams of our house, and the cypress trees the ceiling.

2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth; For your love is better than wine.

3 Your oils have a pleasing fragrance. Your name is oil poured forth, Therefore the virgins love you.

5 I am dark, but lovely, You daughters of Jerusalem, Like Kedar's tents, Like Solomon's curtains.

6 Don't stare at me because I am dark, Because the sun has scorched me. My mother's sons were angry with me. They made me keeper of the vineyards. I haven't kept my own vineyard.

7 Tell me, you whom my soul loves, Where you graze your flock, Where you rest them at noon; For why should I be as one who is veiled Beside the flocks of your companions? Lover

8 If you don't know, most beautiful among women, Follow the tracks of the sheep. Graze your young goats beside the shepherds' tents.

11 We will make you earrings of gold, With studs of silver. Beloved

17 The beams of our house are cedars. Our rafters are firs. Beloved
