New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Song of Solomon 1
16 "How handsome you are, my beloved, And so pleasant! Indeed, our couch is luxuriant!
17 "The beams of our houses are cedars, Our rafters, cypresses.
Song of Solomon 2
1 "I am the rose of Sharon, The lily of the valleys."
2 "Like a lily among the thorns, So is my darling among the maidens."
3 "Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest, So is my beloved among the young men. In his shade I took great delight and sat down, And his fruit was sweet to my taste.
4 "He has brought me to his banquet hall, And his banner over me is love.
5 "Sustain me with raisin cakes, Refresh me with apples, Because I am lovesick.
6 "Let his left hand be under my head And his right hand embrace me."
7 "I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, By the gazelles or by the hinds of the field, That you do not arouse or awaken my love Until she pleases."
8 "Listen! My beloved! Behold, he is coming, Climbing on the mountains, Leaping on the hills!
9 "My beloved is like a gazelle or a young stag. Behold, he is standing behind our wall, He is looking through the windows, He is peering through the lattice.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
