May my meditation be pleasing to him, for I rejoice in the Lord. As an apple tree among the trees of the forest, so is my beloved among the young men. With great delight I sat in his shadow, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.—For who in the skies can be compared to the Lord? Who among the heavenly beings is like the Lord? My beloved is radiant and ruddy, distinguished among ten thousand.—“One pearl of great value.”—The ruler of kings on earth. His head is the finest gold; his locks are wavy, black as a raven.—Head over all things.—He is the head of the body, the church. His cheeks are like beds of spices, mounds of sweet-smelling herbs.—He could not be hidden.—His lips are lilies, dripping liquid myrrh.—“No one ever spoke like this man!”—His appearance is like Lebanon, choice as the cedars.—Make your face shine on your servant.—“Lift up the light of your face upon us, O Lord!” Ps. 104:34; Song. 2:3; Ps. 89:6; Song 5:10; Matt. 13:46; Rev. 1:5; Song 5:11; Eph. 1:22; Col. 1:18; Song 5:13; Mark 7:24; Song 5:13; John 7:46; Song 5:15; Ps. 31:16; Ps. 4:6 Daily Light on the Daily Path
