Song of Solomon 7
American Standard-ASV1901 (ASV)
1 Ref How beautiful are thy feet in sandals, O prince's daughter! Thy rounded thighs are like jewels, The work of the hands of a skilful workman.
2 Ref Thy body is `like' a round goblet, `Wherein' no mingled wine is wanting: Thy waist is `like' a heap of wheat Set about with lilies.
3 Ref Thy two breasts are like two fawns That are twins of a roe.
4 Ref Thy neck is like the tower of ivory; Thine eyes `as' the pools in Heshbon, By the gate of Bath-rabbim; Thy nose is like the tower of Lebanon Which looketh toward Damascus.
5 Ref Thy head upon thee is like Carmel, And the hair of thy head like purple; The king is held captive in the tresses `thereof'.
6 Ref How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, for delights!
7 Ref This thy stature is like to a palm-tree, And thy breasts to its clusters.
8 Ref I said, I will climb up into the palm-tree, I will take hold of the branches thereof: Let thy breasts be as clusters of the vine, And the smell of thy breath like apples,
9 Ref And thy mouth like the best wine, That goeth down smoothly for my beloved, Gliding through the lips of those that are asleep.
10 Ref I am my beloved's; And his desire is toward me.
11 Ref Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field; Let us lodge in the villages.
12 Ref Let us get up early to the vineyards; Let us see whether the vine hath budded, `And' its blossom is open, `And' the pomegranates are in flower: There will I give thee my love.
13 Ref The mandrakes give forth fragrance; And at our doors are all manner of precious fruits, new and old, Which I have laid up for thee, O my beloved.
Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
1 Ref As the chorus of `Mahanaim.' How beautiful were thy feet with sandals, O daughter of Nadib. The turnings of thy sides `are' as ornaments, Work of the hands of an artificer.
2 Ref Thy waist `is' a basin of roundness, It lacketh not the mixture, Thy body a heap of wheat, fenced with lilies,
3 Ref Thy two breasts as two young ones, twins of a roe,
4 Ref Thy neck as a tower of the ivory, Thine eyes pools in Heshbon, near the gate of Bath-Rabbim, Thy face as a tower of Lebanon looking to Damascus,
5 Ref Thy head upon thee as Carmel, And the locks of thy head as purple, The king is bound with the flowings!
6 Ref How fair and how pleasant hast thou been, O love, in delights.
7 Ref This thy stature hath been like to a palm, And thy breasts to clusters.
8 Ref I said, `Let me go up on the palm, Let me lay hold on its boughs, Yea, let thy breasts be, I pray thee, as clusters of the vine, And the fragrance of thy face as citrons,
9 Ref And thy palate as the good wine --' Flowing to my beloved in uprightness, Strengthening the lips of the aged!
10 Ref I `am' my beloved's, and on me `is' his desire.
11 Ref Come, my beloved, we go forth to the field,
12 Ref We lodge in the villages, we go early to the vineyards, We see if the vine hath flourished, The sweet smelling-flower hath opened. The pomegranates have blossomed, There do I give to thee my loves;
13 Ref The mandrakes have given fragrance, And at our openings all pleasant things, New, yea, old, my beloved, I laid up for thee!
