← (Ecclesiastes 12) | (Song of Solomon 2) →

New King James Version

New Living Translation

  • Solomon’s Love for a Shulamite Girl

    The song of songs, which is Solomon’s.
  • This is Solomon’s song of songs, more wonderful than any other.
    Young Womana
  • The Banquet

    The [a]Shulamite

    Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth —
    For [b]your love is better than wine.
  • Kiss me and kiss me again,
    for your love is sweeter than wine.
  • Because of the fragrance of your good ointments,
    Your name is ointment poured forth;
    Therefore the virgins love you.
  • How pleasing is your fragrance;
    your name is like the spreading fragrance of scented oils.
    No wonder all the young women love you!
  • Draw me away!
    The Daughters of Jerusalem

    We will run after [c]you.
    The Shulamite

    The king has brought me into his chambers.
    The Daughters of Jerusalem

    We will be glad and rejoice in [d]you.
    We will remember your love more than wine.
    The Shulamite

    Rightly do they love you.
  • Take me with you; come, let’s run!
    The king has brought me into his bedroom.
    Young Women of Jerusalem
    How happy we are for you, O king.
    We praise your love even more than wine.
    Young Woman
    How right they are to adore you.
  • I am dark, but lovely,
    O daughters of Jerusalem,
    Like the tents of Kedar,
    Like the curtains of Solomon.
  • I am dark but beautiful,
    O women of Jerusalem —
    dark as the tents of Kedar,
    dark as the curtains of Solomon’s tents.
  • Do not look upon me, because I am dark,
    Because the sun has [e]tanned me.
    My mother’s sons were angry with me;
    They made me the keeper of the vineyards,
    But my own vineyard I have not kept.
  • Don’t stare at me because I am dark —
    the sun has darkened my skin.
    My brothers were angry with me;
    they forced me to care for their vineyards,
    so I couldn’t care for myself — my own vineyard.
  • (To Her Beloved)

    Tell me, O you whom I love,
    Where you feed your flock,
    Where you make it rest at noon.
    For why should I be as one who [f]veils herself
    By the flocks of your companions?
  • Tell me, my love, where are you leading your flock today?
    Where will you rest your sheep at noon?
    For why should I wander like a prostituteb
    among your friends and their flocks?
    Young Man
  • The Beloved

    If you do not know, O fairest among women,
    [g]Follow in the footsteps of the flock,
    And feed your little goats
    Beside the shepherds’ tents.
  • If you don’t know, O most beautiful woman,
    follow the trail of my flock,
    and graze your young goats by the shepherds’ tents.
  • I have compared you, my love,
    To my filly among Pharaoh’s chariots.
  • You are as exciting, my darling,
    as a mare among Pharaoh’s stallions.
  • Your cheeks are lovely with ornaments,
    Your neck with chains of gold.
  • How lovely are your cheeks;
    your earrings set them afire!
    How lovely is your neck,
    enhanced by a string of jewels.
  • The Daughters of Jerusalem

    We will make [h]you ornaments of gold
    With studs of silver.
  • We will make for you earrings of gold
    and beads of silver.
    Young Woman
  • The Shulamite

    While the king is at his table,
    My [i]spikenard sends forth its fragrance.
  • The king is lying on his couch,
    enchanted by the fragrance of my perfume.
  • A bundle of myrrh is my beloved to me,
    That lies all night between my breasts.
  • My lover is like a sachet of myrrh
    lying between my breasts.
  • My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blooms
    In the vineyards of En Gedi.
  • He is like a bouquet of sweet henna blossoms
    from the vineyards of En-gedi.
    Young Man
  • The Beloved

    Behold, you are fair, [j]my love!
    Behold, you are fair!
    You have dove’s eyes.
  • How beautiful you are, my darling,
    how beautiful!
    Your eyes are like doves.
    Young Woman
  • The Shulamite

    Behold, you are handsome, my beloved!
    Yes, pleasant!
    Also our [k]bed is green.
  • You are so handsome, my love,
    pleasing beyond words!
    The soft grass is our bed;
  • The beams of our houses are cedar,
    And our rafters of fir.
  • fragrant cedar branches are the beams of our house,
    and pleasant smelling firs are the rafters.
