Song of Solomon 1 1-Song of Solomon 1 8
The Song of Songs, which is Solomon’s.“ May he kiss me with the kisses of his mouth! For your love is sweeter than wine.Your oils have a pleasing fragrance, Your name is like purified oil; Therefore the young women love you.Draw me after you and let’s run together! The king has brought me into his chambers.”“ We will rejoice in you and be joyful; We will praise your love more than wine. Rightly do they love you.”“ I am black and beautiful, You daughters of Jerusalem, Like the tents of Kedar, Like the curtains of Solomon.Do not stare at me because I am dark, For the sun has tanned me. My mother’s sons were angry with me; They made me caretaker of the vineyards, But I have not taken care of my own vineyard.Tell me, you whom my soul loves, Where do you pasture your flock, Where do you have it lie down at noon? For why should I be like one who veils herself Beside the flocks of your companions?”“ If you yourself do not know, Most beautiful among women, Go out on the trail of the flock, And pasture your young goats By the tents of the shepherds.

Psalms 45:9-17
Kings’ daughters are among Your noble women; At Your right hand stands the queen in gold from Ophir.Listen, daughter, look and incline your ear: Forget your people and your father’s house;Then the King will crave your beauty. Because He is your Lord, bow down to Him.The daughter of Tyre will come with a gift; The wealthy among the people will seek your favor.The King’s daughter is all glorious within; Her clothing is interwoven with gold.She will be brought to the King in colorful garments; The virgins, her companions who follow her, Will be brought to You.They will be brought with joy and rejoicing; They will enter into the King’s palace.In place of your fathers will be your sons; You shall make them princes in all the earth.I will make Your name known among all generations; Therefore the peoples will praise You forever and ever.
