Song of Solomon 1 1-Song of Solomon 1 8
Solomon’s Finest Song.Oh, that he would kiss me with the kisses of his mouth! For your love is more delightful than wine.The fragrance of your perfume is intoxicating; your name is perfume poured out. No wonder young women adore you.Take me with you— let us hurry. Oh, that the king would bring me to his chambers. We will rejoice and be glad for you; we will praise your love more than wine. It is only right that they adore you.Daughters of Jerusalem, I am dark like the tents of Kedar, yet lovely like the curtains of Solomon.Do not stare at me because I am dark, for the sun has gazed on me. My mother’s sons were angry with me; they made me a keeper of the vineyards. I have not kept my own vineyard.Tell me, you, the one I love: Where do you pasture your sheep? Where do you let them rest at noon? Why should I be like one who veils herself beside the flocks of your companions?If you do not know, most beautiful of women, follow the tracks of the flock, and pasture your young goats near the shepherds’ tents.

Psalms 45:9-17
Kings’ daughters are among your honored women; the queen, adorned with gold from Ophir, stands at your right hand.Listen, daughter, pay attention and consider: forget your people and your father’s house,and the king will desire your beauty. Bow down to him, for he is your lord.The daughter of Tyre, the wealthy people, will seek your favor with gifts.In her chamber, the royal daughter is all glorious, her clothing embroidered with gold.In colorful garments she is led to the king; after her, the virgins, her companions, are brought to you.They are led in with gladness and rejoicing; they enter the king’s palace.Your sons will succeed your ancestors; you will make them princes throughout the land.I will cause your name to be remembered for all generations; therefore the peoples will praise you forever and ever.
