Song of Songs 6 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

“[fn]My beloved ^H1730 has gone ^H3381 down ^H3381 to his garden ^H1588,

To the beds ^H6170 of spices ^H1314,

To shepherd ^H7462 his flock in the gardens ^H1588

And gather ^H3950 lilies ^H7799.

“I am my beloved’s ^H1730 and my beloved ^H1730 is mine,

He who shepherds ^H7462 his flock among the lilies ^H7799.”

“[fn]You are as beautiful ^H3303 as Tirzah ^H8656, my darling ^H7474,

As lovely ^H5000 as Jerusalem ^H3389,

As majestic ^H366 as [fn]an army ^H1713 with ^H1713 banners ^H1713.

“Turn ^H5437 your eyes ^H5869 away ^H5437 from me,

For they have overwhelmed ^H7292 me;

Your hair ^H8181 is like a flock ^H5739 of goats ^H5795

That have leapt ^H1570 down ^H1570 from Gilead ^H1568.

“Your teeth ^H8127 are like a flock ^H5739 of ewes ^H7353

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

Behind ^H4480 H1157 your veil ^H6777.

“There ^H1992 are sixty ^H8346 queens ^H4436 and eighty ^H8084 concubines ^H6370,

And [fn]maidens ^H5959 without ^H369 number ^H4557;

She is the only ^H259 one ^H259—my dove ^H3123, my perfect ^H8535 one ^H8535;

She is the only ^H259 one ^H259 of her mother ^H517;

She is the pure ^H1249 one ^H1249 of her who bore ^H3205 her.

The daughters ^H1323 saw ^H7200 her and called ^H833 her blessed ^H833,

The queens ^H4436 and the concubines ^H6370 also, and they praised ^H1984 her, saying,

‘Who ^H4310 is this ^H2088 that looks ^H8259 down ^H8259 like ^H3644 the dawn ^H7837,

As beautiful ^H3303 as the full ^H3842 moon ^H3842,

As pure ^H1249 as the sun ^H2535,

As majestic ^H366 as [fn]an army ^H1713 with banners ^H1713?’

“[fn]I went ^H3381 down ^H3381 to the garden ^H1593 of nut ^H93 trees ^H93

To see ^H7200 the blossoms ^H3 of the valley ^H5158,

To see ^H7200 whether the vine ^H1612 had flourished ^H6524

Or the pomegranates ^H7416 had bloomed ^H5340.

“I did ^H3045 not know ^H3045 it, but my soul ^H5315 set ^H7760 me

Among the chariots ^H4818 of [fn]my noble ^H5081 people ^H5971.”

“[fn]^,[fn]Come ^H7725 back ^H7725, come ^H7725 back ^H7725, O Shulammite ^H7759;

Come ^H7725 back ^H7725, come ^H7725 back ^H7725, that we may behold ^H2372 you!”

“[fn]Why ^H4100 should you behold ^H2372 the Shulammite ^H7759,

As at the dance ^H4246 of [fn]the two companies ^H4264?
