Song of Songs 1 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

“[fn]May he kiss ^H5401 me with the kisses ^H5390 of his mouth ^H6310!

For your love ^H1730 is better ^H2896 than ^H4480 wine ^H3196.

“Your oils ^H8081 have a pleasing ^H2896 fragrance ^H7381,

Your name ^H8034 is like [fn]purified ^H7324 oil ^H8081;

Therefore ^H5921 H3651 the [fn]maidens ^H5959 love ^H157 you.

“Draw ^H4900 me after ^H310 you and let us run ^H7323 together!

The king ^H4428 has brought ^H935 me into his chambers ^H2315.”

“[fn]We will rejoice ^H1523 in you and be ^H8055 glad ^H8055;

We will [fn]extol ^H2142 your love ^H1730 more ^H4480 than ^H4480 wine ^H3196.

Rightly ^H4339 do they love ^H157 you.”

“[fn]I am black ^H7838 but lovely ^H5000,

O daughters ^H1323 of Jerusalem ^H3389,

Like the tents ^H168 of Kedar ^H6938,

Like the curtains ^H3407 of Solomon ^H8010.

“Do not look ^H7200 at me because I am [fn]swarthy ^H7840,

For the sun ^H8121 has burned ^H7805 me.

My mother’s ^H517 sons ^H1121 were ^H2734 angry ^H2734 with me;

They made ^H7760 me caretaker ^H5201 of the vineyards ^H3754,

But I have not taken ^H5201 care ^H5201 of my own vineyard ^H3754.

“Tell ^H5046 me, O you whom ^H7945 my soul ^H5315 loves ^H157,

Where ^H351 do you shepherd ^H7462 your flock,

Where ^H351 do you make it lie ^H7257 down ^H7257 at noon ^H6672?

For why ^H4100 should I be like one who [fn]veils ^H5844 herself

Beside ^H5921 the flocks ^H5739 of your companions ^H2270?”

“[fn]If ^H518 you yourself do not know ^H3045,

Most beautiful ^H3303 among women ^H802,

Go ^H3318 forth ^H3318 on the trail ^H6119 of the flock ^H6629

And pasture ^H7462 your young ^H1429 goats ^H1429

By the dwellings ^H4908 of the shepherds ^H7462.

“To a mare ^H5484 of mine ^H5484 among the chariots ^H7393 of Pharaoh ^H6547

I compare ^H1819 you, O my darling ^H7474.

“Your cheeks ^H3895 are lovely ^H4998 with ornaments ^H8447,

Your neck ^H6677 with strings ^H2737 of ^H2737 [fn]beads ^H2737.”

“[fn]We will make ^H6213 for you ornaments ^H8447 of gold ^H2091

With beads ^H5351 of silver ^H3701.”

“[fn]While ^H5704 the king ^H4428 was at his [fn]banqueting ^H5424 table ^H4524,

My [fn]perfume ^H5373 gave ^H5414 forth its fragrance ^H7381.

“My beloved ^H1730 is to me a pouch ^H6872 of myrrh ^H4753

Which lies ^H3885 all ^H3885 night ^H3885 between ^H996 my breasts ^H7699.

“My beloved ^H1730 is to me a cluster ^H811 of henna ^H3724 blossoms

In the vineyards ^H3754 of Engedi ^H5872.”

“[fn]Behold ^H2009, you are beautiful ^H3303, my darling ^H7474,

Behold ^H2009, you are beautiful ^H3303!

Your eyes ^H5869 are like doves ^H3123.”

“[fn]Behold ^H2009, you are handsome ^H3303, my beloved ^H1730,

Indeed ^H637, so pleasant ^H5273!

Indeed ^H637, our couch ^H6210 is luxuriant ^H7488!

“The beams ^H6982 of our houses ^H1004 are cedars ^H730,

Our rafters ^H7351, [fn]cypresses ^H1266.
