Verse KJV King James Version YLT Young's Literal Translation
How beautiful are thy feet with shoes , O prince's daughter ! the joints of thy thighs are like jewels , the work of the hands of a cunning workman .
As the chorus of `Mahanaim.' How beautiful were thy feet with sandals , O daughter of Nadib. The turnings of thy sides ` are ' as ornaments , Work of the hands of an artificer .
Thy navel is like a round goblet , which wanteth not liquor: thy belly is like an heap of wheat set about with lilies .
Thy waist ` is ' a basin of roundness , It lacketh not the mixture, Thy body a heap of wheat , fenced with lilies ,
Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins .
Thy two breasts as two young ones, twins of a roe,
Thy neck is as a tower of ivory ; thine eyes like the fishpools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bathrabbim: thy nose is as the tower of Lebanon which looketh toward Damascus .
Thy neck as a tower of the ivory , Thine eyes pools in Heshbon, near the gate of Bath-Rabbim, Thy face as a tower of Lebanon looking to Damascus ,
Thine head upon thee is like Carmel, and the hair of thine head like purple ; the king is held in the galleries.
Thy head upon thee as Carmel, And the locks of thy head as purple , The king is bound with the flowings!
How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, for delights !
How fair and how pleasant hast thou been , O love, in delights .
This thy stature is like to a palm tree , and thy breasts to clusters of grapes .
This thy stature hath been like to a palm, And thy breasts to clusters.
I said, I will go up to the palm tree , I will take hold of the boughs thereof: now also thy breasts shall be as clusters of the vine, and the smell of thy nose like apples;
I said, `Let me go up on the palm, Let me lay hold on its boughs , Yea, let thy breasts be , I pray thee, as clusters of the vine, And the fragrance of thy face as citrons,
And the roof of thy mouth like the best wine for my beloved , that goeth down sweetly , causing the lips of those that are asleep to speak.
And thy palate as the good wine --' Flowing to my beloved in uprightness , Strengthening the lips of the aged!
I am my beloved's, and his desire is toward me .
I ` am ' my beloved's, and on me `is' his desire.
Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field ; let us lodge in the villages.
Come, my beloved, we go forth to the field ,
Let us get up early to the vineyards ; let us see if the vine flourish , whether the tender grape appear, and the pomegranates bud forth: there will I give thee my loves .
We lodge in the villages, we go early to the vineyards , We see if the vine hath flourished , The sweet smelling-flower hath opened. The pomegranates have blossomed, There do I give to thee my loves ;
The mandrakes give a smell , and at our gates are all manner of pleasant fruits , new and old, which I have laid up for thee , O my beloved.
The mandrakes have given fragrance , And at our openings all pleasant things , New , yea, old, my beloved, I laid up for thee !
