 1 Solomon’s Song of Songs.   2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth— for your love   is more delightful than wine.    3 Pleasing is the fragrance of your perfumes;   your name   is like perfume poured out. No wonder the young women   love you!  4 Take me away with you—let us hurry! Let the king bring me into his chambers.   4 We rejoice and delight   in you ; we will praise your love   more than wine. 4 How right they are to adore you!  5 Dark am I, yet lovely,   daughters of Jerusalem,   dark like the tents of Kedar,   like the tent curtains of Solomon.   6 Do not stare at me because I am dark, because I am darkened by the sun. My mother’s sons were angry with me and made me take care of the vineyards;   my own vineyard I had to neglect.  7 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? 8 If you do not know, most beautiful of women,   follow the tracks of the sheep and graze your young goats by the tents of the shepherds. 9 I liken you, my darling, to a mare among Pharaoh’s chariot horses.    10 Your cheeks   are beautiful with earrings, your neck with strings of jewels.    11 We will make you earrings of gold, studded with silver. 12 While the king was at his table, my perfume spread its fragrance.    13 My beloved is to me a sachet of myrrh   resting between my breasts.  14 My beloved   is to me a cluster of henna   blossoms from the vineyards of En Gedi.   15 How beautiful   you are, my darling! Oh, how beautiful! Your eyes are doves.   16 How handsome you are, my beloved!   Oh, how charming! And our bed is verdant. 17 The beams of our house are cedars;   our rafters are firs.

From Wikipedia: 

The New International Version (NIV) is an English translation of the Bible first published in 1978 by Biblica (formerly the International Bible Society). The NIV was published to meet the need for a modern translation done by Bible scholars using the earliest, highest quality manuscripts available. Of equal importance was that the Bible be expressed in broadly understood modern English.

The NIV is published by Zondervan in the United States and Hodder & Stoughton in the UK. The NIV was updated in 1984 and 2011 and has become one of the most popular and best-selling modern translations.
