As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.1 – For who in the heaven can be compared unto the Lord? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the Lord?2 |
My beloved is white and ruddy, the chiefest among ten thousand.3 – One pearl of great price.4 – The prince of the kings of the earth.5 – His head is as the most fine gold, his locks are bushy, and black as a raven.6 – The head over all things.7 – He is the head of the body, the church.8 |
His cheeks are as a bed of spices, as sweet flowers.9 – He could not be hid.10 – His lips like lilies, dropping sweet smelling myrrh11 – Never man spake like this man.12 – His countenance is as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars.13 – Make thy face to shine upon thy servant.14 – Lord, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.15 |
