Therefore write down this song for yourselves and teach it to the Israelites; have them recite it, so that this song may be a witness for Me against the Israelites.

For the choir director: according to “The Lilies.” A Maskil of the sons of Korah. A love song.My heart is moved by a noble theme
as I recite my verses to the king;
my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer.

A Davidic psalm.I will sing of faithful love and justice;
I will sing praise to You, Lord.

Well-beloved

W My love is mine and I am his;
he feeds among the lilies.

W I sleep, but my heart is awake.
A sound! My love is knocking!

M Open to me, my sister, my darling,
my dove, my perfect one.
For my head is drenched with dew,
my hair with droplets of the night.

I am my love’s and my love is mine;
he feeds among the lilies.

Touching

On that day
sing about a desirable vineyard:

You uprooted a vine from Egypt;
You drove out the nations and planted it.

Solomon owned a vineyard in Baal-hamon.
He leased the vineyard to tenants.
Each was to bring for his fruit
1,000 pieces of silver.

I planted you, a choice vine
from the very best seed.
How then could you turn into
a degenerate, foreign vine?

“Listen to another parable: There was a man, a landowner, who planted a vineyard, put a fence around it, dug a winepress in it, and built a watchtower. He leased it to tenant farmers and went away.

Then He began to speak to them in parables: “A man planted a vineyard, put a fence around it, dug out a pit for a winepress, and built a watchtower. Then he leased it to tenant farmers and went away.

Then He began to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard, leased it to tenant farmers, and went away for a long time.

“I am the true vine, and My Father is the vineyard keeper.
