The Shulammite Bride’s Desire

1 The [a]Song of (A)Songs, which is Solomon’s.

For your (B)love is better than wine.
3 Your (C)oils have a pleasing fragrance,
Your (D)name is like [c]purified oil;
Therefore the [d](E)maidens love you.
4 Draw me after you and let us run together!
The (F)king has brought me into his chambers.”
“[e]We will rejoice in you and be glad;
We will [f]extol your (G)love more than wine.
Rightly do they love you.”
