Song of Solomon 1:4-6

New Century Version

⁴ Take me with you; let’s run together.
    The king takes me into his rooms.

We will rejoice and be happy with you;
    we praise your love more than wine.
    With good reason, the young women love you.

⁵ I’m dark but lovely,
    women of Jerusalem,
    dark like the tents of Kedar,
    like the curtains of Solomon.
⁶ Don’t look at how dark I am,
    at how dark the sun has made me.
My brothers were angry with me
    and made me tend the vineyards,
    so I haven’t tended my own vineyard!
