Song of Songs 4:1 - 4:7

« Song 3 | Song 4 | Song 5 »

Solomon Praises the Beauty of His Bride

“Behold, you are beautiful, my darling,

Behold, you are beautiful!

Your eyes are like doves behind your veil;

Your hair is like a flock of goats

That have leapt down from Mount Gilead.

2

Your teeth are like a flock of newly shorn ewes

Which have come up from their washing,

All of which bear twins,

And not one among them has lost her young.

3

Your lips are like a scarlet thread,

And your mouth is lovely.

Your temples are like a slice of a pomegranate

Behind your veil.

4

Your neck is like the tower of David,

Built with rows of stones

On which are hung one thousand shields,

All the small shields of the mighty men.

5

Your two breasts are like two fawns,

Twins of a gazelle

Which feed among the lilies.

6

Until the day breathes

And the shadows flee,

I will go my way to the mountain of myrrh

And to the hill of frankincense.

7

“You are altogether beautiful, my darling,

And there is no blemish in you.
