Song of Solomon 1:3-5
New American Standard Bible
3 Your (A)oils have a pleasing fragrance,
Your (B)name is like [a]purified oil;
Therefore the [b](C)young women love you.
4 Draw me after you and let’s run together!
The (D)king has brought me into his chambers.”
The Chorus
“We will rejoice in you and be joyful;
We will praise your (E)love more than wine.
Rightly do they love you.”

You (G)daughters of Jerusalem,
Like the (H)tents of (I)Kedar,
Like the curtains of Solomon.
