NASB Bible

Song of Solomon 1

The Young Shulammite Bride and Jerusalem's Daughters

1

The  1Song of  aSongs, which is Solomon's.

2

1May he kiss me with the kisses of his mouth! For your  alove is better than wine.

3

"Your  aoils have a pleasing fragrance, Your  bname is like  1purified oil; Therefore the  2 cmaidens love you.

4

"Draw me after you and let us run together! The  aking has brought me into his chambers."

1We will rejoice in you and be glad; We will  2extol your  blove more than wine. Rightly do they love you."

5

1I am black but  alovely, O  bdaughters of Jerusalem, Like the  ctents of  dKedar, Like the curtains of Solomon.

6

"Do not stare at me because I am  1swarthy, For the sun has burned me. My  amother's sons were angry with me; They made me  bcaretaker of the vineyards, But I have not taken care of my own vineyard.

7

"Tell me, O you  awhom my soul loves, Where do you  bpasture your flock, Where do you make it  clie down at noon? For why should I be like one who  1veils herself Beside the flocks of your  dcompanions?"

Solomon, the Lover, Speaks

8

1If you yourself do not know,  aMost beautiful among women, Go forth on the trail of the flock And pasture your young goats By the tents of the shepherds.

9

1To me,  amy darling, you are like My  bmare among the chariots of Pharaoh.

10

"Your  acheeks are lovely with ornaments, Your neck with strings of  bbeads."

11

1We will make for you ornaments of gold With beads of silver."

12

1While the king was at his  2table, My  3 aperfume gave forth its fragrance.

13

"My beloved is to me a pouch of  amyrrh Which lies all night between my breasts.

14

"My beloved is to me a cluster of  ahenna blossoms In the vineyards of  bEngedi."

15

1\, 2 aHow beautiful you are, my darling,  2How beautiful you are! Your  beyes are like doves."

16

1\, 2How handsome you are,  amy beloved, And so pleasant! Indeed, our couch is luxuriant!

17

"The beams of our houses are  acedars, Our rafters,  1 bcypresses.
