We praise your love even more than wine.

How right they are to adore you.

let us extol your love more than wine.

Rightly do they love you!

Because of the savour of thy good ointments

Thy name is as ointment poured forth,

Therefore do the virgins love thee.

Draw me, we will run after thee:

The king hath brought me into his chambers:

We will be glad and rejoice in thee,

We will remember thy love more than wine:

The upright love thee.
