1 The Song of Songs that [is] of Solomon.10 Lovely are your cheeks with ornaments, your neck with strings of jewels.11 Ornaments of gold we will make for you, with studs of silver.12 While the king [was] at his table, my spikenard gave forth its fragrance.13 A bundle of myrrh [is] my beloved to me; between my breasts it lodges.14 A cluster of henna blossoms [is] my beloved to me in the vineyards of En-gedi.15 Behold, you [are] beautiful, my darling, behold, you [are] beautiful! Your eyes are doves.16 Behold, you [are] beautiful, my beloved, truly lovely indeed! Our bed [is] green.17 The beams of our house [are] cedars, our rafters [are] firs.2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth! For your love [is] better than wine.3 Your oils [are] good for fragrance; your name [is] oil poured out; upon thus the maidens love you.4 Draw me after you, let us run! The king has brought me [into] his chambers. We will rejoice and will be glad in you; we will cause your love to be remembered more than wine; rightly do they love you.5 Black [am] I, and lovely, O daughters of Jerusalem, like the tents of Kedar, like the curtains of Solomon.6 Do not look at me because I [am] black, [for] the sun has gazed upon me. The sons of my mother were hot with me; they set me keeping the vineyards; my own vineyard I have not kept.7 Declare to me, O one my soul loves, where do you pasture, where do you let them rest at midday? For why should I be as one veiling herself [to go] alongside the flocks of your companions?8 If you do not know [it] for yourself, O fairest among the women, go forth yourself in the tracks of the flock, and pasture your young goats beside the tents of the shepherds.9 To a mare among the chariots of Pharaoh I have likened you, my darling.
