Song of Songs 7Expressions of Praise

7You are stately as a palm tree,

and your breasts are like its clusters.

8 like the best wine

that goes down smoothly,

gliding over lips and teeth.

10 Ps 45.11; Song 2.16; 6.3 I am my beloved’s,

and his desire is for me.

11Come, my beloved,

let us go forth into the fields

and lodge in the villages;

12 Song 6.11 let us go out early to the vineyards;

let us see whether the vines have budded,

whether the grape blossoms have opened

and the pomegranates are in bloom.

There I will give you my love.

13 Gen 30.14; Song 2.3; 4.13, 16 The mandrakes give forth fragrance,

and over our doors are all choice fruits,

new as well as old,

which I have laid up for you, O my beloved.
