Song of Solomon 1 1. The song <07892> of songs <07892>, which <0834> [is] Solomon's <08010>. 2. Let him kiss <05401> me with the kisses <05390> of his mouth <06310>: for thy love <01730> [is] better <02896> than wine <03196>. 3 Because of the savour <07381> of thy good <02896> ointments <08081> thy name <08034> [is as] ointment <08081> poured <07324> forth, therefore do the virgins <05959> love <0157> thee. 4 Draw <04900> me, we will run <07323> after <0310> thee: the king <04428> hath brought <0935> me into his chambers <02315>: we will be glad <01528> and rejoice <08055> in thee, we will remember <02142> thy love <01730> more than wine <03196>: the upright <04339> love <0157> thee. 5 I [am] black <07838>, but comely <05000>, O ye daughters <01121> of Jerusalem <03389>, as the tents <0168> of Kedar <06938>, as the curtains <03407> of Solomon <08010>. 6 Look <07200> not upon me, because I [am] black <07840>, because the sun <08121> hath looked <07805> upon me: my mother's <0517> children <01121> were angry <02734> with me; they made <07760> me the keeper <05201> of the vineyards <03754>; [but] mine own vineyard <03754> have I not kept <05201>. 7. Tell <05046> me, O thou whom my soul <05315> loveth <0157>, where <0349> thou feedest <07462>, where <0349> thou makest [thy flock] to rest <07257> at noon <06672>: for why <04100> should I be as one that turneth <05844> aside <05844> by the flocks <05739> of thy companions <02270>? 8 If <0518> thou know <03045> not, O thou fairest <03303> among women <0802>, go <03318> thy way <01870> forth <03318> by the footsteps <06119> of the flock <06629>, and feed <07462> thy kids <01423> beside <05921> the shepherds <07462>' tents <04908>. 9 I have compared <01819> thee, O my love <07474>, to a company of horses <05484> in Pharaoh's <06547> chariots <07393>. 10 Thy cheeks <03895> are comely <04998> with rows <08447> [of jewels], thy neck <06677> with chains <02737> [of gold]. 11 We will make <06213> thee borders <08447> of gold <02091> with studs <05351> of silver <03701>. 12. While <05704> the king <04428> [sitteth] at his table <05424>, my spikenard <05373> sendeth <05414> forth the smell <07381> thereof. 13 A bundle <06872> of myrrh <04753> [is] my wellbeloved <01730> unto me; he shall lie <03885> all <03605> night betwixt <0996> my breasts <07699>. 14 My beloved <01730> [is] unto me [as] a cluster <0811> of camphire <03724> in the vineyards <03754> of Engedi <05872>. 15 Behold <02009>, thou [art] fair <03302>, my love <07474>; behold <02009>, thou [art] fair <03302>; thou [hast] doves <03123>' eyes <05869>. 16 Behold <02009>, thou [art] fair <03302>, my beloved <0157>, yea <0637>, pleasant <05273>: also <0637> our bed <06210> [is] green <07488>. 17 The beams <06982> of our house <01004> [are] cedar <0730>, [and] our rafters <07351> of fir <01265>. Song of Solomon 2 1. I [am] the rose <02261> of Sharon <08289>, [and] the lily <07799> of the valleys <06010>. 2 As the lily <07799> among <0996> thorns <02336>, so <03651> [is] my love <07474> among <0996> the daughters <01121>. 3. As the apple <08598> tree <06086> among the trees <06086> of the wood <03293>, so <03651> [is] my beloved <01730> among <0996> the sons <01121>. I sat <03427> down under his shadow <06738> with great delight <02530>, and his fruit <06529> [was] sweet <04966> to my taste <02441>. 4 He brought <0935> me to the banqueting <03196> house <01004>, and his banner <01714> over <05921> me [was] love <0160>. 5 Stay <05564> me with flagons <0809>, comfort <07502> me with apples <08598>: for I [am] sick <02470> of love <0160>. 6 His left <08040> hand <08040> [is] under <08478> my head <07218>, and his right <03225> hand <03225> doth embrace <02263> me. 7 I charge <07650> you, O ye daughters <01121> of Jerusalem <03389>, by the roes <06643>, and by the hinds <0355> of the field <07704>, that ye stir <05782> not up, nor <0518> awake <05782> [my] love <0160>, till <05704> he please <02654>. 8. The voice <06963> of my beloved <01730>! behold <02009>, he cometh <0935> leaping <01801> upon the mountains <02022>, skipping <07092> upon the hills <01389>. 9 My beloved <01730> is like <01819> a roe <06643> or <0176> a young <06082> hart <0354>: behold <02009>, he standeth <05975> behind <0310> our wall <03796>, he looketh <07688> forth at <04480> the windows <02474>, shewing <06692> himself through <04480> the lattice <02762>. 10 My beloved <01730> spake <06030>, and said <0559> unto me, Rise <06965> up, my love <07474>, my fair <03302> one, and come <03212> away. 11 For, lo <02009>, the winter <05638> is past <05674>, the rain <01653> is over <02798> [and] gone <01980>; 12 The flowers <05339> appear <07200> on the earth <0776>; the time <06256> of the singing <02158> [of birds] is come <05060>, and the voice <06963> of the turtle <08449> is heard <08085> in our land <0776>; 13 The fig <08384> tree putteth <02590> forth <02590> her green <06291> figs <06291>, and the vines <01612> [with] the tender grape <05563> give <05414> a [good] smell <07381>. Arise <06965>, my love <07474>, my fair <03302> one, and come <03212> away. 14. O my dove <03123>, [that art] in the clefts <02288> of the rock <05553>, in the secret <05643> [places] of the stairs <04095>, let me see <07200> thy countenance <04758>, let me hear <08085> thy voice <06963>; for sweet <06149> [is] thy voice <06963>, and thy countenance <04758> [is] comely <05000>. 15 Take <0270> us the foxes <07776>, the little <06996> foxes <07776>, that spoil <02254> the vines <03754>: for our vines <03754> [have] tender grapes <05563>. 16 My beloved <01730> [is] mine, and I [am] his: he feedeth <07462> among the lilies <07799>. 17 Until <05704> the day <03117> break <06315>, and the shadows <06752> flee <05127> away, turn <05437>, my beloved <01730>, and be thou like <01819> a roe <06643> or <0176> a young <06082> hart <0354> upon the mountains <02022> of Bether <01336>. Song of Solomon 3 1. By night <03915> on <05921> my bed <04904> I sought <01245> him whom my soul <05315> loveth <0157>: I sought <01245> him, but I found <04672> him not. 2 I will rise <06965> now <04994>, and go <05437> about <05437> the city <05892> in the streets <07784>, and in the broad <07339> ways <07339> I will seek <01245> him whom my soul <05315> loveth <0157>: I sought him, but I found <04672> him not. 3 The watchmen <08104> that go <05437> about <05437> the city <05892> found <04672> me: [to whom I said], Saw <07200> ye him whom <0853> my soul <05315> loveth <0157>? 4 [It was] but a little <04592> that I passed <05674> from them, but I found <04672> him whom my soul <05315> loveth <0157>: I held <0270> him, and would not let him go <07503>, until <05704> I had brought <0935> him into <0413> my mother's <0517> house <01004>, and into <0413> the chamber <02315> of her that conceived <02030> me. 5 I charge <07650> you, O ye daughters <01121> of Jerusalem <03389>, by the roes <06643>, and by the hinds <0355> of the field <07704>, that ye stir <05782> not up, nor <0518> awake <05782> [my] love <0160>, till <05704> he please <02654>. 6.

Thou [art] beautiful <03303>, O my love <07474>, as Tirzah <08656>, comely <05000> as Jerusalem <03389>, terrible <0366> as [an army] with banners <01713>. 5 Turn <05437> away thine eyes <05869> from me, for they have overcome <07292> me: thy hair <08181> [is] as a flock <05739> of goats <05795> that appear <01570> from Gilead <01568>. 6 Thy teeth <08127> [are] as a flock <05739> of sheep <07353> which go <05927> up from the washing <07367>, whereof every <03605> one <0259> beareth <08382> twins <08382>, and [there is] not one <0259> barren <07909> among them. 7 As a piece <06400> of a pomegranate <07416> [are] thy temples <07451> within <01157> thy locks <06777>. 8 There are threescore <07657> queens <04436>, and fourscore <08084> concubines <06370>, and virgins <05959> without <0369> number <04557>. 9 My dove <03123>, my undefiled <08535> is [but] one <0259>; she [is] the [only] one <0259> of her mother <0517>, she [is] the choice <01249> [one <0259>] of her that bare <03205> her. The daughters <01121> saw <07200> her, and blessed <0833> her; [yea], the queens <04436> and the concubines <06370>, and they praised <01984> her. 10 Who <04310> [is] she [that] looketh <08259> forth as the morning <07837>, fair <03303> as the moon <03842>, clear <01249> as the sun <02535>, [and] terrible <0366> as [an army] with banners <01713>? 11. I went <03381> down <03381> into <0413> the garden <01594> of nuts <093> to see <07200> the fruits <03> of the valley <05158>, [and] to see <07200> whether the vine <01612> flourished <06524>, [and] the pomegranates <07416> budded <05132>. 12 Or ever <03808> I was aware <03045>, my soul <05315> made <07760> me [like] the chariots <04818> of Amminadib <05993>. 13 Return <07725>, return <07725>, O Shulamite <07759>; return <07725>, return <07725>, that we may look <02372> upon thee. What <04100> will ye see <02372> in the Shulamite <07759>? As it were the company <04246> of two armies <04264>. Song of Solomon 7 1. How <04100> beautiful <03303> are thy feet <06471> with shoes <05275>, O prince's <05081> daughter <01323>! the joints <02542> of thy thighs <03409> [are] like <03644> jewels <02484>, the work <04639> of the hands <03027> of a cunning <0542> workman <0542>. 2 Thy navel <08326> [is like] a round <05469> goblet <0101>, [which] wanteth <02637> not liquor <04197>: thy belly <0990> [is like] an heap <06194> of wheat <02406> set <05473> about <05473> with lilies <07799>. 3 Thy two <08147> breasts <07699> [are] like two <08147> young <06082> roes <06646> [that are] twins <08380>. 4 Thy neck <06677> [is] as a tower <04026> of ivory <08127>; thine eyes <05869> [like] the fishpools <01295> in Heshbon <02809>, by the gate <08179> of Bathrabbim <01337>: thy nose <0639> [is] as the tower <04026> of Lebanon <03844> which looketh <06822> toward Damascus <01834>. 5 Thine head <07218> upon thee [is] like Carmel <03760>, and the hair <01803> of thine head <07218> like purple <0713>; the king <04428> [is] held <0631> in the galleries <07298>. 6 How <04100> fair <03302> and how <04100> pleasant <05276> art thou, O love <0160>, for delights <08588>! 7 This <02063> thy stature <06967> is like <01819> to a palm <08558> tree, and thy breasts <07699> to clusters <0811> [of grapes]. 8 I said <0559>, I will go <05927> up to the palm <08558> tree, I will take <0270> hold <0270> of the boughs <05577> thereof: now <04994> also thy breasts <07699> shall be as clusters <0811> of the vine <01612>, and the smell <07381> of thy nose <0639> like apples <08598>; 9 And the roof <02441> of thy mouth <02441> like the best <02896> wine <03196> for my beloved <01730>, that goeth <01980> [down] sweetly <04339>, causing the lips <08193> of those that are asleep <03463> to speak <01680>. 10. I [am] my beloved's <01730>, and his desire <08669> [is] toward <05921> me. 11 Come <03212>, my beloved <01730>, let us go <03318> forth <03318> into the field <07704>; let us lodge <03885> in the villages <03723>. 12 Let us get up early <07925> to the vineyards <03754>; let us see <07200> if the vine <01612> flourish <06524>, [whether] the tender grape <05563> appear <06524>, [and] the pomegranates <07416> bud <05132> forth <05132>: there will I give <05414> thee my loves <01730>. 13 The mandrakes <01736> give <05414> a smell <07381>, and at <05921> our gates <06607> [are] all <03605> manner of pleasant <04022> [fruits], new <02319> and old <03465>, [which] I have laid <06845> up for thee, O my beloved <01730>. Song of Solomon 8 1. O that thou [wert] as my brother <0251>, that sucked <03243> the breasts <07699> of my mother <0517>! [when] I should find <04672> thee without <02351>, I would kiss <05401> thee; yea <01571>, I should not be despised <0937>. 2 I would lead <05090> thee, [and] bring <0935> thee into <0413> my mother's <0517> house <01004>, [who] would instruct <03925> me: I would cause thee to drink <08248> of spiced <07544> wine <03196> of the juice of my pomegranate <07416>. 3 His left <08040> hand <08040> [should be] under <08478> my head <07218>, and his right <03225> hand <03225> should embrace <02263> me. 4 I charge <07650> you, O daughters <01121> of Jerusalem <03389>, that ye stir <05782> not up, nor awake <05782> [my] love <0160>, until <05704> he please <02654>. 5. Who <04310> [is] this <02063> that cometh <05927> up from the wilderness <04057>, leaning <07514> upon her beloved <01730>? I raised <05782> thee up under <08478> the apple <08598> tree: there thy mother <0517> brought <02254> thee forth <02254>: there she brought <02254> thee forth <02254> [that] bare <03205> thee. 6 Set <07760> me as a seal <02368> upon thine heart <03820>, as a seal <02368> upon thine arm <02220>: for love <0160> [is] strong <05794> as death <04194>; jealousy <07068> [is] cruel as the grave <07585>: the coals <07565> thereof [are] coals <07565> of fire <0784>, [which hath a] most vehement <03050> flame <07957>. 7 Many <07227> waters <04325> cannot quench <03518> love <0160>, neither <03808> can the floods <05104> drown <07857> it: if <0518> [a] man <0376> would give <05414> all <03605> the substance <01952> of his house <01004> for love <0160>, it would utterly be contemned <0936>. 8. We have a little <06996> sister <0269>, and she hath no <0369> breasts <07699>: what <04100> shall we do <06213> for our sister <0269> in the day <03117> when she shall be spoken <01696> for? 9 If <0518> she [be] a wall <02346>, we will build <01129> upon her a palace <02918> of silver <03701>: and if she [be] a door <01817>, we will inclose <06696> her with boards <03871> of cedar <0730>. 10 I [am] a wall <02346>, and my breasts <07699> like towers <04026>: then <0227> was I in his eyes <05869> as one that found <04672> favour <07965>. 11 Solomon <08010> had a vineyard <03754> at Baalhamon <01174>; he let <05414> out the vineyard <03754> unto keepers <05201>; every <0376> one <0376> for the fruit <06529> thereof was to bring <0935> a thousand <0505> [pieces] of silver <03701>. 12 My vineyard <03754>, which [is] mine, [is] before <06440> me: thou, O Solomon <08010>, [must have] a thousand <0505>, and those that keep <05201> the fruit <06529> thereof two hundred <03967>. 13. Thou that dwellest <03427> in the gardens <01588>, the companions <02270> hearken <07181> to thy voice <06963>: cause me to hear <08085> [it]. 14 Make haste <01272>, my beloved <01730>, and be thou like <01819> to a roe <06643> or <0176> to a young <06082> hart <0354> upon the mountains <02022> of spices <01314>.     ~~~~~~
