    Song of Songs 2
    • 1   I am a rose of Sharon, A lily of the valleys.
    • 2   As a lily among thorns, So is my love among the daughters.
    • 3   As the apple-tree among the trees of the wood, So is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, And his fruit was sweet to my taste.
    • 4   He brought me to the banqueting-house, And his banner over me was love.
    • 5   Stay ye me with raisins, refresh me with apples; For I am sick from love.
    • 6   His left handisunder my head, And his right hand doth embrace me.
    • 7   I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, By the roes, or by the hinds of the field, That ye stir not up, nor awake my love, Until he please.
    • 8   The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh, Leaping upon the mountains, Skipping upon the hills.
    • 9   My beloved is like a roe or a young hart: Behold, he standeth behind our wall; He looketh in at the windows; He glanceth through the lattice.
    • 10   My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.
    • 11   For, lo, the winter is past; The rain is over and gone;
    • 12   The flowers appear on the earth; The time of the singing of birds is come, And the voice of the turtle-dove is heard in our land;
    • 13   The fig-tree ripeneth her green figs, And the vines are in blossom; They give forth their fragrance. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.
    • 14   O my dove, that art in the clefts of the rock, In the covert of the steep place, Let me see thy countenance, Let me hear thy voice; For sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is comely.
    • 15   Take us the foxes, the little foxes, That spoil the vineyards; For our vineyards are in blossom.
    • 16   My beloved is mine, and I am his: He feedeth his flock among the lilies.
    • 17   Until the day be cool, and the shadows flee away, Turn, my beloved, and be thou like a roe or a young hart Upon the mountains of Bether.

    The American Standard Version (ASV) of the Holy Bible is in the Public Domain. Please feel free to copy it, give it away, memorize it, publish it, sell it, or whatever God leads you to do with it.

    The American Standard Version of 1901 is an Americanization of the English Revised Bible, which is an update of the KJV to less archaic spelling and greater accuracy of translation. It has been called "The Rock of Biblical Honesty." It is the product of the work of over 50 Evangelical Christian scholars.

    While the ASV retains many archaic word forms, it is still more understandable to the modern reader than the KJV in many passages. The ASV also forms the basis for several modern English translations, including the World English Bible (http://www.eBible.org/bible/WEB), which is also in the Public Domain. The ASV uses "Jehovah" for Godߴs proper name. While the current consensus is that this Holy Name was more likely pronounced "Yahweh," it is refreshing to see this rendition instead of the overloading of the word "Lord" that the KJV, NASB, and many others do.

    Pronouns referring to God are not capitalized in the ASV, as they are not in the NIV and some others, breaking the tradition of the KJV. Since Hebrew has no such thing as tense, and the oldest Greek manuscripts are all upper case, anyway, this tradition was based only on English usage around 1600, anyway. Not capitalizing these pronouns solves some translational problems, such as the coronation psalms, which refer equally well to an earthly king and to God.
