Song of Songs 1:1-4
Christian Standard Bible
1 The Song of Songs, which is Solomon’s.(A)
Woman
2 Oh, that he would kiss me with the kisses of his mouth!
For your caresses[a] are more delightful than wine.(B)
3 The fragrance of your perfume is intoxicating;(C)
your name is perfume poured out.(D)
No wonder young women[b] adore you.
4 Take me with you(E)—let’s hurry.
Oh, that the king would bring[c] me to his chambers.
Young Women
We will rejoice and be glad in you;
we will celebrate your caresses more than wine.
Woman
It is only right that they adore you.

2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth!
For your (B)love is better than wine;
3 your (C)anointing oils are fragrant;
your (D)name is oil poured out;
therefore virgins love you.
4 (E)Draw me after you; (F)let us run.
(G)The king has brought me into his chambers.

We will (H)exult and rejoice in you;
we will extol (I)your love more than wine;
rightly do they love you.
