Song Of Songs 1:4-13 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

4. Chorus to Bride: We will run after you in the odor of your perfumes.

5. Bride to Chorus: The king has led me into his storerooms.

6. Chorus to Bride: We will exult and rejoice in you, remembering your breasts above wine.

7. Groom to Bride: The righteous love you.

8. Bride to Chorus: O daughters of Jerusalem: I am black, but shapely, like the tabernacles of Kedar, like the tents of Solomon.

9. Do not be concerned that I am dark, for the sun has changed my color.

10. The sons of my mother have fought against me. They have made me the keeper of the vineyards. My own vineyard I have not kept.

11. Bride to Groom: Reveal to me, you whom my soul loves, where you pasture, where you recline at midday, lest I begin to wander after the flocks of your companions.

12. Groom to Bride: If you yourself do not know, O most beautiful among women, then go out and follow after the steps of the flocks, and pasture your young goats beside the tabernacles of the shepherds.

13. O my love, I have compared you to my company of horsemen against the chariots of Pharaoh.
