Song of Songs 4:1-7

Legacy Standard Bible

4 “^[a]Behold, you are beautiful, ^(A)my darling,
Behold, you are beautiful!
Your ^(B)eyes are like doves ^(C)behind your veil;
Your ^(D)hair is like a flock of goats
That have leapt down from Mount ^(E)Gilead.
² Your ^(F)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 ^[b]lost her young.
³ Your lips are like a ^(G)scarlet thread,
And your ^(H)mouth is lovely.
Your ^(I)temples are like a slice of a pomegranate
Behind your veil.
⁴ Your ^(J)neck is like the tower of David,
Built ^[c]with rows of stones
On which are ^(K)hung one thousand shields,
All the small ^(L)shields of the mighty men.
⁵ Your ^(M)two breasts are like two fawns,
Twins of a gazelle
Which ^[d](N)feed among the lilies.
^6 (O)Until the day breathes
And the shadows flee,
I will go my way to the mountain of ^(P)myrrh
And to the hill of ^(Q)frankincense.
