Contextual Overview

¹ Your feet are beautiful in sandals, you daughter of a prince. Your round thighs are like jewels shaped by an artist. ² Your navel is like a round drinking cup always filled with wine. Your stomach is like a pile of wheat surrounded with lilies. ³ Your breasts are like two fawns, like twins of a gazelle. ⁴ Your neck is like an ivory tower. Your eyes are like the pools in Heshbon near the gate of Bath Rabbim. Your nose is like the mountain of Lebanon that looks down on Damascus. ⁵ Your head is like Mount Carmel, and your hair is like purple cloth; the king is captured in its folds. ⁶ You are beautiful and pleasant; my love, you are full of delights. ⁷ You are tall like a palm tree, and your breasts are like its bunches of fruit. ⁸ I said, "I will climb up the palm tree and take hold of its fruit." Let your breasts be like bunches of grapes, the smell of your breath like apples, ⁹ and your mouth like the best wine. Let this wine go down sweetly for my lover; may it flow gently past the lips and teeth.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, for delights!] These are the words of the King in the galleries, wondering at the church's beauty, it being incomparable and inexpressible, it could not be said well how great it was; and expressing the strength of his love to her, which was invariably the same as ever. Of the "fairness" of the church, and of this title, "love", see Song of Solomon 1:9; and here she is said also to be "pleasant" to him, as his spouse and bride, in whom he takes infinite delight and pleasure, loving her with a love of complacency and delight; and therefore adds, "for delights", which he had in her before the world was, Proverbs 8:31. She was all delight g to him; her words, her actions and gestures, her comely countenance, her sweet and pleasant voice in prayer and praise, her ravishing looks of faith and love, her heavenly airs, and evangelic walk; in all which she appeared beautiful and delightful, beyond all human thought and expression.

g "Meae deliciae", Plauti Stichus, Act. 5. Sc. 5.
