Song of Solomon 7:1–10

Expressions of Praise

7How beautiful are your feet in sandals,

^aO prince’s daughter!

The curves of your thighs are like jewels,

The work of the hands of a skillful workman.

²Your navel is a rounded goblet;

It lacks no ¹blended beverage.

Your waist is a heap of wheat

Set about with lilies.

^3bYour two breasts are like two fawns,

Twins of a gazelle.

^4cYour neck is like an ivory tower,

Your eyes like the pools in Heshbon

By the gate of Bath Rabbim.

Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon

Which looks toward Damascus.

⁵Your head crowns you like Mount Carmel,

And the hair of your head is like purple;

A king is held captive by your tresses.

⁶How fair and how pleasant you are,

O love, with your delights!

⁷This stature of yours is like a palm tree,

And your breasts like its clusters.

⁸I said, “I will go up to the palm tree,

I will take hold of its branches.”

Let now your breasts be like clusters of the vine,

The fragrance of your ²breath like apples,

⁹And the roof of your mouth like the best wine.

The wine goes down smoothly for my beloved,

³Moving gently the ⁴lips of sleepers.

^10dI am my beloved’s,

And ^ehis desire is toward me.
