Song of Songs 4:1-7 — Legacy Standard Bible

Solomon Praises the Beauty of His Bride

4“¹Behold, you are beautiful, ^amy darling,Behold, you are beautiful!Your ^beyes are like doves ^cbehind your veil;Your ^dhair is like a flock of goatsThat have leapt down from Mount ^eGilead.²“Your ^ateeth are like a flock of newly shorn ewesWhich have come up from their washing,All of which bear twins,And not one among them has ¹lost her young.³“Your lips are like a ^ascarlet thread,And your ^bmouth is lovely.Your ^ctemples are like a slice of a pomegranateBehind your veil.⁴“Your ^aneck is like the tower of David,Built ¹with rows of stonesOn which are ^bhung one thousand shields,All the small ^cshields of the mighty men.⁵“Your ^atwo breasts are like two fawns,Twins of a gazelleWhich ¹^,^bfeed among the lilies.⁶“^aUntil the day breathesAnd the shadows flee,I will go my way to the mountain of ^bmyrrhAnd to the hill of ^cfrankincense.⁷“^aYou are altogether beautiful, my darling,And there is no blemish in you.
