Tell me, you whom I love, where you graze your flock and where you rest your sheep at midday. Why should I be like a veiled woman beside the flocks of your friends?

One night as I lay in bed, I yearned for my lover. I yearned for him, but he did not come.So I said to myself,“ I will get up and roam the city, searching in all its streets and squares. I will search for the one I love.” So I searched everywhere but did not find him.The watchmen stopped me as they made their rounds, and I asked,“ Have you seen the one I love?”Then scarcely had I left them when I found my love! I caught and held him tightly, then I brought him to my mother’s house, into my mother’s bed, where I had been conceived.

The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need.He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams.

I pray to you, O Lord, my rock. Do not turn a deaf ear to me. For if you are silent, I might as well give up and die.

Babylon will never be inhabited again. It will remain empty for generation after generation. Nomads will refuse to camp there, and shepherds will not bed down their sheep.

Now I will sing for the one I love a song about his vineyard: My beloved had a vineyard on a rich and fertile hill.

And he will stand to lead his flock with the Lord’s strength, in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God. Then his people will live there undisturbed, for he will be highly honored around the world.

You love him even though you have never seen him. Though you do not see him now, you trust him; and you rejoice with a glorious, inexpressible joy.

In the night I search for you; in the morning I earnestly seek you. For only when you come to judge the earth will people learn what is right.

Yes, you who trust him recognize the honor God has given him. But for those who reject him,“ The stone that the builders rejected has now become the cornerstone.”

My lover is mine, and I am his. He browses among the lilies.

I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one can snatch them away from me,for my Father has given them to me, and he is more powerful than anyone else. No one can snatch them from the Father’s hand.

Then Jesus turned to the Twelve and asked,“ Are you also going to leave?”Simon Peter replied,“ Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words that give eternal life.We believe, and we know you are the Holy One of God.”

“ I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd sacrifices his life for the sheep.

My lover is dark and dazzling, better than ten thousand others!

He will feed his flock like a shepherd. He will carry the lambs in his arms, holding them close to his heart. He will gently lead the mother sheep with their young.

I love the Lord because he hears my voice and my prayer for mercy.

“ Don’t be afraid,” Samuel reassured them.“ You have certainly done wrong, but make sure now that you worship the Lord with all your heart, and don’t turn your back on him.Don’t go back to worshiping worthless idols that cannot help or rescue you— they are totally useless!

“ I’m looking for my brothers,” Joseph replied.“ Do you know where they are pasturing their sheep?”

I am my lover’s, and my lover is mine. He browses among the lilies.

His mouth is sweetness itself; he is desirable in every way. Such, O women of Jerusalem, is my lover, my friend.

“ This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says: This land— though it is now desolate and has no people and animals— will once more have pastures where shepherds can lead their flocks.

Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony.And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful.Let the message about Christ, in all its richness, fill your lives. Teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom he gives. Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts.And whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through him to God the Father.Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting for those who belong to the Lord.

O my darling, lingering in the gardens, your companions are fortunate to hear your voice. Let me hear it, too!

“ If you love your father or mother more than you love me, you are not worthy of being mine; or if you love your son or daughter more than me, you are not worthy of being mine.

These people left our churches, but they never really belonged with us; otherwise they would have stayed with us. When they left, it proved that they did not belong with us.

I love you, Lord; you are my strength.

For the Lamb on the throne will be their Shepherd. He will lead them to springs of life giving water. And God will wipe every tear from their eyes.”

Like the finest apple tree in the orchard is my lover among other young men. I sit in his delightful shade and taste his delicious fruit.

Make this promise, O women of Jerusalem— If you find my lover, tell him I am weak with love.
