Song of Songs 4 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

“Your teeth ^H8127 are like a flock ^H5739 of newly shorn ^H7094 ewes

Which ^H7945 have come ^H5927 up ^H5927 from their washing ^H7367,

All ^H3605 of which ^H7945 bear ^H8382 twins ^H8382,

And not ^H369 one ^H369 among them has [fn]lost ^H7909 her young ^H7909.

“Your lips ^H8193 are like a scarlet ^H8144 thread ^H2339,

And your mouth ^H4057 is lovely ^H5000.

Your temples ^H7541 are like a slice ^H6400 of a pomegranate ^H7416

Behind ^H4480 H1157 your veil ^H6777.

“Your neck ^H6677 is like the tower ^H4026 of David ^H1732,

Built ^H1129 [fn]with rows ^H8530 of ^H8530 stones ^H8530

On which are hung ^H8518 one thousand ^H505 shields ^H4043,

All ^H3605 the small shields ^H7982 of the mighty ^H1368 men ^H1368.

“Your two ^H8147 breasts ^H7699 are like two ^H8147 fawns ^H6082,

Twins ^H8380 of a gazelle ^H6646

Which [fn]feed ^H7462 among the lilies ^H7799.

“Until ^H5704 the day ^H3117 breathes ^H6315

And the shadows ^H6738 flee ^H5127,

I will go ^H1980 my way ^H1980 to the mountain ^H2022 of myrrh ^H4753

And to the hill ^H1389 of frankincense ^H3828.

“You are altogether ^H3605 beautiful ^H3303, my darling ^H7474,

And there ^H369 is ^H369 no ^H369 blemish ^H3971 in you.

“Come with me from Lebanon ^H3844, my bride ^H3618,

May you come ^H935 with me from Lebanon ^H3844.

[fn]Journey ^H7788 down ^H7788 from the top ^H7218 of Amana ^H549,

From the top ^H7218 of Senir ^H8149 and Hermon ^H2768,

From the dens ^H4585 of lions ^H738,

From the mountains ^H2022 of leopards ^H5246.

“You have made my heart ^H3823 beat ^H3823 faster ^H3823, my sister ^H269, my bride ^H3618;

You have made my heart ^H3823 beat ^H3823 faster ^H3823 with a single ^H259 glance of your eyes ^H5869,

With a single ^H259 strand ^H6060 of your necklace ^H6677.

“How ^H4100 beautiful ^H3302 is ^H3302 your love ^H1730, my sister ^H269, my bride ^H3618!

How ^H4100 much better ^H2896 is your love ^H1730 than ^H4480 wine ^H3196,

And the fragrance ^H7381 of your oils ^H8081

Than ^H4480 all ^H3605 kinds of [fn]spices ^H1314!

“Your lips ^H8193, my bride ^H3618, drip ^H5197 honey ^H5317 from the comb ^H5317;

Honey ^H1706 and milk ^H2461 are under ^H8478 your tongue ^H3956,

And the fragrance ^H7381 of your garments ^H8008 is like the fragrance ^H7381 of Lebanon ^H3844.

“A garden ^H1588 locked ^H5274 is my sister ^H269, my bride ^H3618,

A [fn]rock ^H1530 garden ^H1530 locked ^H5274, a spring ^H4599 sealed ^H2856 up ^H2856.

“Your shoots ^H7973 are [fn]an orchard ^H6508 of pomegranates ^H7416

With choice ^H4022 fruits ^H4022 H6529, henna ^H3724 with nard ^H5373 plants ^H5373,

Nard ^H5373 and saffron ^H3750, calamus ^H7070 and cinnamon ^H7076,

With all ^H3605 the trees ^H6086 of frankincense ^H3828,

Myrrh ^H4753 and aloes ^H174, along ^H5973 with ^H5973 all ^H3605 the finest ^H7218 [fn]spices ^H1314.

“You are a garden ^H1588 spring ^H4599,

A well ^H875 of [fn]fresh ^H2416 water ^H4325,

And streams ^H5140 flowing from Lebanon ^H3844.”

“[fn]Awake ^H5782, O north ^H6828 wind,

And come ^H935, wind of the south ^H8486;

Make my garden ^H1588 breathe ^H6315 out fragrance,

Let its [fn]spices ^H1314 flow ^H5140 forth.

May my beloved ^H1730 come ^H935 into his garden ^H1588

And eat ^H398 its choice ^H4022 fruits ^H6529!”
