Holy Bible
(King James Version)
Song Of
Solomon: Chapter 1
1. THE
song of songs, which is Solomon's.
2. Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better
than wine.
3. Because of the savour of thy good ointments thy name is as ointment
poured forth, therefore do the virgins love thee.
4. Draw me, we will run after thee: the king hath brought me into his
chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in thee, we will remember thy love
more than wine: the upright love thee.
5. I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of
Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.
6. Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon
me: my mother's children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of
the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept.
7. Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where thou feedest, where thou
makest thy flock to rest at noon: for why should I be as one that
turneth aside by the flocks of thy companions?
8. If thou know not, O thou fairest among women, go thy way forth by the
footsteps of the flock, and feed thy kids beside the shepherds' tents.
9. I have compared thee, O my love, to a company of horses in Phar-aoh's
chariots.
10. Thy cheeks are comely with rows of jewels, thy neck with chains of
gold.
11. We will make thee borders of gold with studs of silver.
12. While the king sitteth at his table, my spikenard sendeth forth the
smell thereof.
13. A bundle of myrrh is my wellbeloved unto me; he shall lie all night
betwixt my breasts.
14. My beloved is unto me as a cluster of camphire in the vineyards of
En-ge-di.
15. Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast
doves' eyes.
16. Behold, thou art fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant: also our bed is
green.
17. The beams of our house are cedar, and our rafters of fir.
