UKJV - Song of Solomon - 1

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

1:2  Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for your love is better than wine.

1:3  Because of the savour of your good ointments your name is as ointment poured forth, therefore do the virgins love you.

1:4  Draw me, we will run after you: the king has brought me into his chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in you, we will remember your love more than wine: the upright love you.

1:5  I am black, but comely, O all of you daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.

1:6  Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun has 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.

1:7  Tell me, O you whom my soul loves, where you feed, where you make your flock to rest at noon: for why should I be as one that turns aside by the flocks of your companions?

1:8  If you know not, O you fairest among women, go your way forth by the footsteps of the flock, and feed your kids beside the shepherds' tents.

1:9  I have compared you, O my love, to a company of horses in Pharaoh's chariots.

1:10  Your cheeks are comely with rows of jewels, your neck with chains of gold.

1:11  We will make you borders of gold with studs of silver.

1:12  While the king sits at his table, my spikenard sends forth the smell thereof.

1:13  A bundle of myrrh is my well-beloved unto me; he shall lie all night between my breasts.

1:14  My beloved is unto me as a cluster of camphire in the vineyards of Engedi.

1:15  Behold, you are fair, my love; behold, you are fair; you have doves' eyes.

1:16  Behold, you are fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant: also our bed is green.

1:17  The beams of our house are cedar, and our rafters of fir.
