Song of Solomon 1

New King James Version NKJV

1 The song of songs, which is Solomon's.

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

3 Because of the fragrance of your good ointments, Your name is ointment poured forth; Therefore the virgins love you.

4 Draw me away! The Daughters of Jerusalem We will run after you. The Shulamite The king has brought me into his chambers. The Daughters of Jerusalem We will be glad and rejoice in you. We will remember your love more than wine. The Shulamite Rightly do they love you.

5 I am dark, but lovely, O daughters of Jerusalem, Like the tents of Kedar, Like the curtains of Solomon.

6 Do not look upon me, because I am dark, Because the sun has tanned me. My mother's sons were angry with me; They made me the keeper of the vineyards, But my own vineyard I have not kept.

7 (To Her Beloved) Tell me, O you whom I love, Where you feed your flock, Where you make it rest at noon. For why should I be as one who veils herself By the flocks of your companions?

8 The Beloved If you do not know, O fairest among women, Follow in the footsteps of the flock, And feed your little goats Beside the shepherds' tents.

9 I have compared you, my love, To my filly among Pharaoh's chariots.

10 Your cheeks are lovely with ornaments, Your neck with chains of gold.

11 The Daughters of Jerusalem We will make you ornaments of gold With studs of silver.

12 The Shulamite While the king is at his table, My spikenard sends forth its fragrance.

13 A bundle of myrrh is my beloved to me, That lies all night between my breasts.

14 My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blooms In the vineyards of En Gedi.

15 The Beloved Behold, you are fair, my love! Behold, you are fair! You have dove's eyes.

16 The Shulamite Behold, you are handsome, my beloved! Yes, pleasant! Also our bed is green.

17 The beams of our houses are cedar, And our rafters of fir.

Revised Standard Version RSV

1 The Song of Songs, which is Solomon's.

2 O that you would kiss me with the kisses of your mouth! For your love is better than wine,

3 your anointing oils are fragrant, your name is oil 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 very dark, but comely, O daughters of Jerusalem, like the tents of Kedar, like the curtains of Solomon.

6 Do not gaze at me because I am swarthy, because the sun has scorched 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 wanders beside the flocks of your companions?

8 If you do not know, O fairest among women, follow in the tracks of the flock, and pasture your kids beside the shepherds' tents.

9 I compare you, my love, to a mare of Pharaoh's chariots.

10 Your cheeks are comely with ornaments, your neck with strings of jewels.

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

12 While the king was on his couch, my nard gave forth its fragrance.

13 My beloved is to me a bag of myrrh, that lies between my breasts.

14 My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blossoms in the vineyards of Enge'di.

15 Behold, you are beautiful, my love; behold, you are beautiful; your eyes are doves.

16 Behold, you are beautiful, my beloved, truly lovely. Our couch is green;

17 the beams of our house are cedar, our rafters are pine.
