Song of Solomon: Chapter 1


1The songH7892 of songsH7892, which is SolomonsH8010.

2Let him kissH5401 me with the kissesH5390 of his mouthH6310: for thy loveH1730 is betterH2896 than wineH3196. 3Because of the savourH7381 of thy goodH2896 ointmentsH8081 thy nameH8034 is as ointmentH8081 poured forthH7324, therefore do the virginsH5959 loveH0157 thee. 4DrawH4900 me, we will runH7323 afterH0310 thee: the kingH4428 hath broughtH0935 me into his chambersH2315: we will be gladH1523 and rejoiceH8055 in thee, we will rememberH2142 thy loveH1730 more than wineH3196: the uprightH4339 loveH0157 thee. 5I am blackH7838, but comelyH5000, O ye daughtersH1323 of JerusalemH3389, as the tentsH0168 of KedarH6938, as the curtainsH3407 of SolomonH8010. 6LookH7200 not upon me, because I am blackH7840, because the sunH8121 hath lookedH7805 upon me: my mothersH0517 childrenH1121 were angryH2787 with me; they madeH7760 me the keeperH5201 of the vineyardsH3754; but mine own vineyardH3754 have I not keptH5201.

7TellH5046 me, O thou whom my soulH5315 lovethH0157, where thou feedestH7462, whereH0349 thou makest thy flock to restH7257 at noonH6672: forH4100 why should I be as one that turneth asideH5844 by the flocksH5739 of thy companionsH2270?

8If thou knowH3045 not, O thou fairestH3303 among womenH0802, go thy way forthH3318 by the footstepsH6119 of the flockH6629, and feedH7462 thy kidsH1429 beside the shepherdsH7462 tentsH4908. 9I have comparedH1819 thee, O my loveH7474, to a company of horsesH5484 in PharaohsH6547 chariotsH7393. 10Thy cheeksH3895 are comelyH4998 with rowsH8447 of jewels , thy neckH6677 with chainsH2737 of gold . 11We will makeH6213 thee bordersH8447 of goldH2091 with studsH5351 of silverH3701.

12While the kingH4428 sitteth at his tableH4524, my spikenardH5373 sendeth forthH5414 the smellH7381 thereof. 13A bundleH6872 of myrrhH4753 is my wellbelovedH1730 unto me; he shall lieH3885 all night betwixt my breastsH7699. 14My belovedH1730 is unto me as a clusterH0811 of camphireH3724 in the vineyardsH3754 of En-gediH5872. 15Behold, thou art fairH3303, my loveH7474; behold, thou art fairH3303; thou hast dovesH3123 eyesH5869. 16Behold, thou art fairH3303, my belovedH1730, yea, pleasantH5273: also our bedH6210 is greenH7488. 17The beamsH6982 of our houseH1004 are cedarH0730, and our raftersH7351 of firH1266.

Song of Solomon: Chapter 2


1I am the roseH2261 of SharonH8289, and the lilyH7799 of the valleysH6010. 2As the lilyH7799 among thornsH2336, so is my loveH7474 among the daughtersH1323.

3As the apple treeH8598 among the treesH6086 of the woodH3293, so is my belovedH1730 among the sonsH1121. I satH3427 down under his shadowH6738 with great delightH2530, and his fruitH6529 was sweetH4966 to my tasteH2441. 4He broughtH0935 me to the banquetingH3196 houseH1004, and his bannerH1714 over me was loveH0160. 5StayH5564 me with flagonsH0809, comfortH7502 me with applesH8598: for I am sickH2470 of loveH0160. 6His left handH8040 is under my headH7218, and his right handH3225 doth embraceH2263 me. 7I chargeH7650 you, O ye daughtersH1323 of JerusalemH3389, by the roesH6643, andH0176 by the hindsH0355 of the fieldH7704, that ye stir not upH5782, nor awakeH5782 my loveH0160, till he pleaseH2654.

8The voiceH6963 of my belovedH1730! behold, he comethH0935 leapingH1801 upon the mountainsH2022, skippingH7092 upon the hillsH1389. 9My belovedH1730 is likeH1819 a roeH6643 or a youngH6082 hartH0354: behold, he standethH5975 behindH0310 our wallH3796, he looketh forthH7688 at the windowsH2474, shewingH6692 himself through the latticeH2762. 10My belovedH1730 spakeH6030, and saidH0559 unto me, Rise upH6965, my loveH7474, my fair oneH3303, and come awayH3212. 11For, lo, the winterH5638 is pastH5674, the rainH1653 is overH2498 and goneH1980; 12The flowersH5339 appearH7200 on the earthH0776; the timeH6256 of the singingH2158 of birds is comeH5060, and the voiceH6963 of the turtleH8449 is heardH8085 in our landH0776; 13The fig treeH8384 putteth forthH2590 her green figsH6291, and the vinesH1612 with the tender grapeH5563 giveH5414 a good smellH7381. AriseH6965, my loveH7474, my fair oneH3303, and come awayH3212.

14O my doveH3123, that art in the cleftsH2288 of the rockH5553, in the secretH5643 places of the stairsH4095, let me seeH7200 thy countenanceH4758, let me hearH8085 thy voiceH6963; for sweetH6156 is thy voiceH6963, and thy countenanceH4758 is comelyH5000. 15TakeH0270 us the foxesH7776, the littleH6996 foxesH7776, that spoilH2254 the vinesH3754: for our vinesH3754 have tender grapesH5563.

16My belovedH1730 is mine, and I am his: he feedethH7462 among the liliesH7799. 17Until the dayH3117 breakH6315, and the shadowsH6752 flee awayH5127, turnH5437, my belovedH1730, and be thou likeH1819 a roeH6643 or a youngH6082 hartH0354 upon the mountainsH2022 of BetherH1336.

Song of Solomon: Chapter 3


1By nightH3915 on my bedH4904 I soughtH1245 him whom my soulH5315 lovethH0157: I soughtH1245 him, but I foundH4672 him not. 2I will riseH6965 now, and go aboutH5437 the cityH5892 in the streetsH7784, and in the broad waysH7339 I will seekH1245 him whom my soulH5315 lovethH0157: I soughtH1245 him, but I foundH4672 him not. 3The watchmenH8104 that go aboutH5437 the cityH5892 foundH4672 me: to whom I said , SawH7200 ye him whom my soulH5315 lovethH0157? 4 It was but a littleH4592 that I passedH5674 from them, but I foundH4672 him whom my soulH5315 lovethH0157: I heldH0270 him, and would not let him goH7503, until I had broughtH0935 him into my mothersH0517 houseH1004, and into the chamberH2315 of her that conceivedH2029 me. 5I chargeH7650 you, O ye daughtersH1323 of JerusalemH3389, by the roesH6643, andH0176 by the hindsH0355 of the fieldH7704, that ye stir not upH5782, nor awakeH5782 my loveH0160, till he pleaseH2654.

6Who is this that comethH5927 out of the wildernessH4057 like pillarsH8490 of smokeH6227, perfumedH6999 with myrrhH4753 and frankincenseH3828, with all powdersH0081 of the merchantH7402?

7Behold his bedH4296, which is SolomonsH8010; threescoreH8346 valiantH1368 men are aboutH5439 it, of the valiantH1368 of IsraelH3478. 8They all holdH0270 swordsH2719, being expertH3925 in warH4421: every manH0376 hath his swordH2719 upon his thighH3409 because of fearH6343 in the nightH3915. 9KingH4428 SolomonH8010 madeH6213 himself a chariotH0668 of the woodH6086 of LebanonH3844. 10He madeH6213 the pillarsH5982 thereof of silverH3701, the bottomH7507 thereof of goldH2091, the coveringH4817 of it of purpleH0713, the midstH8432 thereof being pavedH7528 with loveH0160, for the daughtersH1323 of JerusalemH3389. 11Go forthH3318, O ye daughtersH1323 of ZionH6726, and beholdH7200 kingH4428 SolomonH8010 with the crownH5850 wherewith his motherH0517 crownedH5849 him in the dayH3117 of his espousalsH2861, and in the dayH3117 of the gladnessH8057 of his heartH3820.

Song of Solomon: Chapter 4


1Behold, thou art fairH3303, my loveH7474; behold, thou art fairH3303; thou hast dovesH3123 eyesH5869 withinH1157 thy locksH6777: thy hairH8181 is as a flockH5739 of goatsH5795, that appearH1570 from mountH2022 GileadH1568. 2Thy teethH8127 are like a flockH5739 of sheep that are even shornH7094, which came upH5927 from the washingH7367; whereof every one bear twinsH8382, and none is barrenH7909 among them. 3Thy lipsH8193 are like a threadH2339 of scarletH8144, and thy speechH4057 is comelyH5000: thy templesH7541 are like a pieceH6400 of a pomegranateH7416 withinH1157 thy locksH6777. 4Thy neckH6677 is like the towerH4026 of DavidH1732 buildedH1129 for an armouryH8530, whereon there hangH8518 a thousandH0505 bucklersH4043, all shieldsH7982 of mighty menH1368. 5Thy twoH8147 breastsH7699 are like twoH8147 youngH6082 roesH6646 that are twinsH8380, which feedH7462 among the liliesH7799. 6Until the dayH3117 breakH6315, and the shadowsH6752 flee awayH5127, I will getH3212 me to the mountainH2022 of myrrhH4753, and to the hillH1389 of frankincenseH3828. 7Thou art all fairH3303, my loveH7474; there is no spotH3971 in thee.

8ComeH0935 with me from LebanonH3844, my spouseH3618, with me from LebanonH3844: lookH7789 from the topH7218 of AmanaH0549, from the topH7218 of ShenirH8149 and HermonH2768, from the lionsH0738 densH4585, from the mountainsH2042 of the leopardsH5246. 9Thou hast ravished my heartH3823, my sisterH0269, my spouseH3618; thou hast ravished my heartH3823 with oneH0259 of thine eyesH5869, with oneH0259 chainH6060 of thy neckH6677. 10How fairH3302 is thy loveH1730, my sisterH0269, my spouseH3618! how much betterH2895 is thy loveH1730 than wineH3196! and the smellH7381 of thine ointmentsH8081 than all spicesH1314! 11Thy lipsH8193, O my spouseH3618, dropH5197 as the honeycombH5317: honeyH1706 and milkH2461 are under thy tongueH3956; and the smellH7381 of thy garmentsH8008 is like the smellH7381 of LebanonH3844. 12A gardenH1588 inclosedH5274 is my sisterH0269, my spouseH3618; a springH1530 shut upH5274, a fountainH4599 sealedH2856. 13Thy plantsH7973 are an orchardH6508 of pomegranatesH7416, with pleasantH4022 fruitsH6529; camphireH3724, with spikenardH5373, 14SpikenardH5373 and saffronH3750; calamusH7070 and cinnamonH7076, with all treesH6086 of frankincenseH3828; myrrhH4753 and aloesH0174, with all the chiefH7218 spicesH1314:

15A fountainH4599 of gardensH1588, a wellH0875 of livingH2416 watersH4325, and streamsH5140 from LebanonH3844.

16AwakeH5782, O north windH6828; and comeH0935, thou southH8486; blowH6315 upon my gardenH1588, that the spicesH1314 thereof may flow outH5140. Let my belovedH1730 comeH0935 into his gardenH1588, and eatH0398 his pleasantH4022 fruitsH6529.

Song of Solomon: Chapter 5


1I am comeH0935 into my gardenH1588, my sisterH0269, my spouseH3618: I have gatheredH0717 my myrrhH4753 with my spiceH1313; I have eatenH0398 my honeycombH3293 with my honeyH1706; I have drunkH8354 my wineH3196 with my milkH2461: eatH0398, O friendsH7453; drinkH8354, yea, drink abundantlyH7937, O belovedH1730.

2I sleepH3463, but my heartH3820 wakethH5782: it is the voiceH6963 of my belovedH1730 that knockethH1849, saying , OpenH6605 to me, my sisterH0269, my loveH7474, my doveH3123, my undefiledH8535: for my headH7218 is filledH4390 with dewH2919, and my locksH6977 with the dropsH7447 of the nightH3915. 3I have put offH6584 my coatH3801; howH0349 shall I put it onH3847? I have washedH7364 my feetH7272; howH0349 shall I defileH2936 them? 4My belovedH1730 put inH7971 his handH3027 byH4480 the holeH2356 of the door , and my bowelsH4578 were movedH1993 for him. 5I rose upH6965 to openH6605 to my belovedH1730; and my handsH3027 droppedH5197 with myrrhH4753, and my fingersH0676 with sweet smellingH5674 myrrhH4753, upon the handlesH3709 of the lockH4514. 6I openedH6605 to my belovedH1730; but my belovedH1730 had withdrawnH2559 himself, and was goneH5674: my soulH5315 failedH3318 when he spakeH1696: I soughtH1245 him, but I could not findH4672 him; I calledH7121 him, but he gave me no answerH6030. 7The watchmenH8104 that went aboutH5437 the cityH5892 foundH4672 me, they smoteH5221 me, they woundedH6481 me; the keepersH8104 of the wallsH2346 took awayH5375 my veilH7289 from me. 8I chargeH7650 you, O daughtersH1323 of JerusalemH3389, if ye findH4672 my belovedH1730, that ye tellH5046 him, that I am sickH2470 of loveH0160.

9What is thy belovedH1730 more than another belovedH1730, O thou fairestH3303 among womenH0802? what is thy belovedH1730 more than another belovedH1730, that thouH3602 dost so chargeH7650 us? 10My belovedH1730 is whiteH6703 and ruddyH0122, the chiefestH1713 among ten thousandH7233. 11His headH7218 is as the mostH3800 fine goldH6337, his locksH6977 are bushyH8534, and blackH7838 as a ravenH6158. 12His eyesH5869 are as the eyes of dovesH3123 by the riversH0650 of watersH4325, washedH7364 with milkH2461, and fitly setH3427. 13His cheeksH3895 are as a bedH6170 of spicesH1314, as sweetH4840 flowersH4026: his lipsH8193 like liliesH7799, droppingH5197 sweet smellingH5674 myrrhH4753. 14His handsH3027 are as goldH2091 ringsH1550 setH4390 with the berylH8658: his bellyH4578 is as brightH6247 ivoryH8127 overlaidH5968 with sapphiresH5601. 15His legsH7785 are as pillarsH5982 of marbleH8336, setH3245 upon socketsH0134 of fine goldH6337: his countenanceH4758 is as LebanonH3844, excellentH0977 as the cedarsH0730. 16His mouthH2441 is most sweetH4477: yea, he is altogether lovelyH4261. This is my belovedH1730, and this is my friendH7453, O daughtersH1323 of JerusalemH3389.

Song of Solomon: Chapter 6


1Whither is thy belovedH1730 goneH1980, O thou fairestH3303 among womenH0802? whither is thy belovedH1730 turned asideH6437? that we may seekH1245 him with thee. 2My belovedH1730 is gone downH3381 into his gardenH1588, to the bedsH6170 of spicesH1314, to feedH7462 in the gardensH1588, and to gatherH3950 liliesH7799. 3I am my belovedsH1730, and my belovedH1730 is mine: he feedethH7462 among the liliesH7799.

4Thou art beautifulH3303, O my loveH7474, as TirzahH8656, comelyH5000 as JerusalemH3389, terribleH0366 as an army with bannersH1713. 5Turn awayH5437 thine eyesH5869 from me, for theyH1992 have overcomeH7292 me: thy hairH8181 is as a flockH5739 of goatsH5795 that appearH1570 from GileadH1568. 6Thy teethH8127 are as a flockH5739 of sheepH7353 which go upH5927 from the washingH7367, whereof every one beareth twinsH8382, and there is not one barrenH7909 among them. 7As a pieceH6400 of a pomegranateH7416 are thy templesH7541 withinH1157 thy locksH6777. 8There are threescoreH8346 queensH4436, and fourscoreH8084 concubinesH6370, and virginsH5959 without numberH4557. 9My doveH3123, my undefiledH8535 is but oneH0259; she is the only oneH0259 of her motherH0517, she is the choiceH1249 one of her that bareH3205 her. The daughtersH1323 sawH7200 her, and blessedH0833 her; yea , the queensH4436 and the concubinesH6370, and they praisedH1984 her.

10Who is she that looketh forthH8259 as the morningH7837, fairH3303 as the moonH3842, clearH1249 as the sunH2535, and terribleH0366 as an army with bannersH1713?

11I went downH3381 into the gardenH1594 of nutsH0093 to seeH7200 the fruitsH0003 of the valleyH5158, and to seeH7200 whether the vineH1612 flourishedH6524, and the pomegranatesH7416 buddedH5132. 12Or ever I was awareH3045, my soulH5315 madeH7760 me like the chariotsH4818 of AmminadibH5993. 13ReturnH7725, returnH7725, O ShulamiteH7759; returnH7725, returnH7725, that we may lookH2372 upon thee. What will ye seeH2372 in the ShulamiteH7759? As it were the companyH4246 of two armiesH4264.

Song of Solomon: Chapter 7


1How beautifulH3302 are thy feetH6471 with shoesH5275, O princesH5081 daughterH1323! the jointsH2542 of thy thighsH3409 are like jewelsH2481, the workH4639 of the handsH3027 of a cunning workmanH0542. 2Thy navelH8326 is like a roundH5469 gobletH0101, which wantethH2637 not liquorH4197: thy bellyH0990 is like an heapH6194 of wheatH2406 set aboutH5473 with liliesH7799. 3Thy twoH8147 breastsH7699 are like twoH8147 youngH6082 roesH6646 that are twinsH8380. 4Thy neckH6677 is as a towerH4026 of ivoryH8127; thine eyesH5869 like the fishpoolsH1295 in HeshbonH2809, by the gateH8179 of Bath-rabbimH1337: thy noseH0639 is as the towerH4026 of LebanonH3844 which lookethH6822 towardH6440 DamascusH1834. 5Thine headH7218 upon thee is like CarmelH3760, and the hairH1803 of thine headH7218 like purpleH0713; the kingH4428 is heldH0631 in the galleriesH7298. 6How fairH3302 and how pleasantH5276 art thou, O loveH0160, for delightsH8588! 7This thy statureH6967 is likeH1819 to a palm treeH8558, and thy breastsH7699 to clustersH0811 of grapes . 8I saidH0559, I will go upH5927 to the palm treeH8558, I will take holdH0270 of the boughsH5577 thereof: now also thy breastsH7699 shall be as clustersH0811 of the vineH1612, and the smellH7381 of thy noseH0639 like applesH8598; 9And the roof of thy mouthH2441 like the bestH2896 wineH3196 for my belovedH1730, that goethH1980 down sweetlyH4339, causing the lipsH8193 of those that are asleepH3463 to speakH1680.

10I am my belovedsH1730, and his desireH8669 is toward me. 11ComeH3212, my belovedH1730, let us go forthH3318 into the fieldH7704; let us lodgeH3885 in the villagesH3723. 12Let us get up earlyH7925 to the vineyardsH3754; let us seeH7200 if the vineH1612 flourishH6524, whether the tender grapeH5563 appearH6605, and the pomegranatesH7416 bud forthH5132: there will I giveH5414 thee my lovesH1730. 13The mandrakesH1736 giveH5414 a smellH7381, and at our gatesH6607 are all manner of pleasantH4022 fruits , newH2319 and oldH3465, which I have laid upH6845 for thee, O my belovedH1730.

Song of Solomon: Chapter 8


1O thatH5414 thou wert as my brotherH0251, that suckedH3243 the breastsH7699 of my motherH0517! when I should findH4672 thee withoutH2351, I would kissH5401 thee; yea, I should not be despisedH0936. 2I would leadH5090 thee, and bringH0935 thee into my mothersH0517 houseH1004, who would instructH3925 me: I would cause thee to drinkH8248 of spicedH7544 wineH3196 of the juiceH6071 of my pomegranateH7416. 3His left handH8040 should be under my headH7218, and his right handH3225 should embraceH2263 me. 4I chargeH7650 you, O daughtersH1323 of JerusalemH3389, that ye stir not upH5782, nor awakeH5782 my loveH0160, until he pleaseH2654.

5Who is this that cometh upH5927 from the wildernessH4057, leaningH7514 upon her belovedH1730? I raisedH5782 thee up under the apple treeH8598: there thy motherH0517 brought thee forthH2254: there she brought thee forthH2254 that bareH3205 thee.

6SetH7760 me as a sealH2368 upon thine heartH3820, as a sealH2368 upon thine armH2220: for loveH0160 is strongH5794 as deathH4194; jealousyH7068 is cruelH7186 as the graveH7585: the coalsH7565 thereof are coalsH7565 of fireH0784, which hath a most vehement flameH7957. 7ManyH7227 watersH4325 cannotH3201 quenchH3518 loveH0160, neither can the floodsH5104 drownH7857 it: if a manH0376 would giveH5414 all the substanceH1952 of his houseH1004 for loveH0160, it would utterlyH0936 be contemnedH0936.

8We have a littleH6996 sisterH0269, and she hath no breastsH7699: what shall we doH6213 for our sisterH0269 in the dayH3117 when she shall be spoken forH1696? 9If she be a wallH2346, we will buildH1129 upon her a palaceH2918 of silverH3701: and if she be a doorH1817, we will incloseH6696 her with boardsH3871 of cedarH0730. 10I am a wallH2346, and my breastsH7699 like towersH4026: then was I in his eyesH5869 as one that foundH4672 favourH7965. 11 SolomonH8010 had a vineyardH3754 at Baal-hamonH1174; he let outH5414 the vineyardH3754 unto keepersH5201; every oneH0376 for the fruitH6529 thereof was to bringH0935 a thousandH0505 pieces of silverH3701. 12My vineyardH3754, which is mine, is beforeH6440 me: thou, O SolomonH8010, must have a thousandH0505, and those that keepH5201 the fruitH6529 thereof two hundredH3967.

13Thou that dwellestH3427 in the gardensH1588, the companionsH2270 hearkenH7181 to thy voiceH6963: cause me to hearH8085 it .

14Make hasteH1272, my belovedH1730, and be thou likeH1819 to a roeH6643 or to a youngH6082 hartH0354 upon the mountainsH2022 of spicesH1314.
