Red-Letter King James Bible 1769 Edition (KJV)

Song of Songs 1

1 The Church's love unto Christ. 5 She confesseth her deformity, 7 and prayeth to be directed to his flock. 8 Christ directeth her to the shepherd's tents: 9 and shewing his love to her, 11 giveth her gracious promises. 12 The Church and Christ congratulate one another.

 1:1 ¶ The song 7892 of songs, 7892 which x834 [is] Solomon's. 8010

 1:2 Let him kiss 5401 z8799 me with the kisses 5390 x4480 of his mouth: 6310 for x3588 thy love 1730 [is] better 2896 than wine. 3196 x4480

 1:3 Because of the savour 7381 of thy good 2896 ointments 8081 thy name 8034 [is as] ointment 8081 poured forth, 7324 z8714 therefore x5921 x3651 do the virgins 5959 love 157 z8804 thee.

 1:4 Draw 4900 z8798 me, we will run 7323 z8799 after 310 thee: the king 4428 hath brought 935 z8689 me into his chambers: 2315 we will be glad 1523 z8799 and rejoice 8055 z8799 in thee, we will remember 2142 z8686 thy love 1730 more than wine: 3196 x4480 the upright 4339 love 157 z8804 thee.

 1:5 I x589 [am] black, 7838 but comely, 5000 O ye daughters 1323 of Jerusalem, 3389 as the tents 168 of Kedar, 6938 as the curtains 3407 of Solomon. 8010

 1:6 Look 7200 z8799 not x408 upon me, because I x7945 x589 [am] black, 7840 because the sun 8121 hath looked 7805 z8804 x7945 upon me: my mother's 517 children 1121 were angry y2787 z8738 x2734 with me; they made 7760 z8804 me the keeper 5201 z8802 of x853 the vineyards; 3754 [but] mine own x7945 vineyard 3754 have I not x3808 kept. 5201 z8804

 1:7 Tell 5046 z8685 me, O thou whom my soul 5315 loveth, 157 z8804 x7945 where x349 thou feedest, 7462 z8799 where 349 thou makest [thy flock] to rest 7257 z8686 at noon: 6672 for y4100 why x7945 x4100 should I be x1961 as one that turneth aside 5844 z8802 by x5921 the flocks 5739 of thy companions? 2270

 1:8 ¶ If x518 thou know 3045 z8799 not, x3808 O thou fairest 3303 among women, 802 go thy way forth 3318 z8798 by the footsteps 6119 of the flock, 6629 and feed 7462 z8798 x853 thy kids 1429 beside x5921 the shepherds' 7462 z8802 tents. 4908

 1:9 I have compared 1819 z8765 thee, O my love, 7474 to a company of horses 5484 in Pharaoh's 6547 chariots. 7393

 1:10 Thy cheeks 3895 are comely 4998 z8773 with rows 8447 [of jewels], thy neck 6677 with chains 2737 [of gold].

 1:11 We will make 6213 z8799 thee borders 8447 of gold 2091 with x5973 studs 5351 of silver. 3701

 1:12 ¶ While x5704 the king 4428 x7945 [sitteth] at his table, 4524 my spikenard 5373 sendeth forth 5414 z8804 the smell 7381 thereof.

 1:13 A bundle 6872 of myrrh 4753 [is] my wellbeloved 1730 unto me; he shall lie y3885 z8799 all night x3885 betwixt x996 my breasts. 7699

 1:14 My beloved 1730 [is] unto me [as] a cluster 811 of camphire 3724 in the vineyards 3754 of Engedi. 5872

 1:15 Behold, x2009 thou [art] fair, 3303 my love; 7474 behold, x2009 thou [art] fair; 3303 thou [hast] doves' 3123 eyes. 5869

 1:16 Behold, x2009 thou [art] fair, 3303 my beloved, 1730 yea, x637 pleasant: 5273 also x637 our bed 6210 [is] green. 7488

 1:17 The beams 6982 of our house 1004 [are] cedar, 730 [and] our rafters 7351 z8675 of fir. 1266
