Song Of Songs 1:1-5 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

1. The Song of Songs, which is Solomon’s.

2. W Let him kiss me with kisses of his mouth,for your love is better than wine,

3. better than the fragrance of your perfumes.Your name is a flowing perfume—therefore young women love you.

4. Draw me after you! Let us run!The king has brought me to his bed chambers.Let us exult and rejoice in you;let us celebrate your love: it is beyond wine!Rightly do they love you!

5. W I am black and beautiful,Daughters of Jerusalem—Like the tents of Qedar,like the curtains of Solomon.
