A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
(1) The cry of ancient Israel for Messiah, for example, Simeon, Anna, &c. (2) The cry of an awakened soul for the drawing of the Spirit, after it has got a glimpse of Christ's loveliness and its own helplessness.

Draw me--The Father draws (Joh 6:44). The Son draws (Jer 31:3; Hos 11:4; Joh 12:32). "Draw" here, and "Tell" (Sol 1:7), reverently qualify the word "kiss" (Sol 1:2).

me, we--No believer desires to go to heaven alone. We are converted as individuals; we follow Christ as joined in a communion of saints (Joh 1:41, Joh 1:45). Individuality and community meet in the bride.

run--Her earnestness kindles as she prays (Isa 40:31; Psa 119:32, Psa 119:60).

after thee--not before (Joh 10:4).

king . . . brought me into-- (Psa 45:14-15; Joh 10:16). He is the anointed Priest (Sol 1:3); King (Sol 1:4).

chambers--Her prayer is answered even beyond her desires. Not only is she permitted to run after Him, but is brought into the inmost pavilion, where Eastern kings admitted none but the most intimate friends (Est 4:11; Est 5:2; Psa 27:5). The erection of the temple of Solomon was the first bringing of the bride into permanent, instead of migratory, chambers of the King. Christ's body on earth was the next (Joh 2:21), whereby believers are brought within the veil (Eph 2:6; Heb 10:19-20). Entrance into the closet for prayer is the first step. The earnest of the future bringing into heaven (Joh 14:3). His chambers are the bride's also (Isa 26:20). There are various chambers, plural (Joh 14:2).

be glad and rejoice--inward and outward rejoicing.

in thee-- (Isa 61:10; Phi 4:1, Phi 4:4). Not in our spiritual frames (Psa 30:6-7).

remember--rather, "commemorate with praises" (Isa 63:7). The mere remembrance of spiritual joys is better than the present enjoyment of carnal ones (Psa 4:6-7).

upright--rather, "uprightly," "sincerely" (Psa 58:1; Rom 12:9); so Nathanael (Joh 1:47); Peter (Joh 21:17); or "deservedly" [MAURER].

17 He saith [3004] unto him [846] the third [5154] time, Simon [4613], son of Jonas [2495], lovest [5368] thou me [3165]? Peter [4074] was grieved [3076] because [3754] he said [2036] unto him [846] the third [5154] time, Lovest [5368] thou me [3165]? And [2532] he said [2036] unto him [846], Lord [2962], thou [4771] knowest [1492] all things [3956]; thou [4771] knowest [1097] that [3754] I love [5368] thee [4571]. Jesus [2424] saith [3004] unto him [846], Feed [1006] my [3450] sheep [4263].

7 Thou hast put [05414] gladness [08057] in my heart [03820], more than in the time [06256] that their corn [01715] and their wine [08492] increased [07231].
7 I will mention [02142] the lovingkindnesses [02617] of the LORD [03068], and the praises [08416] of the LORD [03068], according to all that the LORD [03068] hath bestowed [01580] on us, and the great [07227] goodness [02898] toward the house [01004] of Israel [03478], which he hath bestowed [01580] on them according to his mercies [07356], and according to the multitude [07230] of his lovingkindnesses [02617].
6 And in my prosperity [07959] I said [0559], I shall never [05769] be moved [04131].
7 LORD [03068], by thy favour [07522] thou hast made my mountain [02042] to stand [05975] strong [05797]: thou didst hide [05641] thy face [06440], and I was troubled [0926].
4 Rejoice [5463] in [1722] the Lord [2962] alway [3842]: and again [3825] I say [2046], Rejoice [5463].
1 Therefore [5620], my [3450] brethren [80] dearly beloved [27] and [2532] longed for [1973], my [3450] joy [5479] and [2532] crown [4735], so [3779] stand fast [4739] in [1722] the Lord [2962], my dearly beloved [27].
10 I will greatly [07797] rejoice [07797] in the LORD [03068], my soul [05315] shall be joyful [01523] in my God [0430]; for he hath clothed [03847] me with the garments [0899] of salvation [03468], he hath covered [03271] me with the robe [04598] of righteousness [06666], as a bridegroom [02860] decketh [03547] himself with ornaments [06287], and as a bride [03618] adorneth [05710] herself with her jewels [03627].
2 In [1722] my [3450] Father's [3962] house [3614] are [1526] many [4183] mansions [3438]: if it were not [1490] so, I would have told [302] [2036] you [5213]. I go [4198] to prepare [2090] a place [5117] for you [5213].
20 Come [03212], my people [05971], enter [0935] thou into thy chambers [02315], and shut [05462] thy doors [01817] about thee: hide [02247] thyself as it were for a little [04592] moment [07281], until the indignation [02195] be overpast [05674].
3 And [2532] if [1437] I go [4198] and [2532] prepare [2090] a place [5117] for you [5213], I will come [2064] again [3825], and [2532] receive [3880] you [5209] unto [4314] myself [1683]; that [2443] where [3699] I [1473] am [1510], there ye [5210] may be [5600] also [2532].
19 Having [2192] therefore [3767], brethren [80], boldness [3954] to [1519] enter [1529] into the holiest [39] by [1722] the blood [129] of Jesus [2424],
20 By a new [4372] and [2532] living [2198] way [3598], which [3739] he hath consecrated [1457] for us [2254], through [1223] the veil [2665], that is to say [5123], his [846] flesh [4561];
6 And [2532] hath raised us up together [4891], and [2532] made us sit together [4776] in [1722] heavenly [2032] places in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424]:
21 But [1161] he [1565] spake [3004] of [4012] the temple [3485] of his [846] body [4983].
5 For in the time [03117] of trouble [07451] he shall hide [06845] me in his pavilion [05520]: in the secret [05643] of his tabernacle [0168] shall he hide [05641] me; he shall set me up [07311] upon a rock [06697].
2 And it was so, when the king [04428] saw [07200] Esther [0635] the queen [04436] standing [05975] in the court [02691], that she obtained [05375] favour [02580] in his sight [05869]: and the king [04428] held out [03447] to Esther [0635] the golden [02091] sceptre [08275] that was in his hand [03027]. So Esther [0635] drew near [07126], and touched [05060] the top [07218] of the sceptre [08275].
11 All the king's [04428] servants [05650], and the people [05971] of the king's [04428] provinces [04082], do know [03045], that whosoever, whether man [0376] or woman [0802], shall come [0935] unto the king [04428] into the inner [06442] court [02691], who is not called [07121], there is one [0259] law [01881] of his to put him to death [04191], except [0905] such to whom the king [04428] shall hold out [03447] the golden [02091] sceptre [08275], that he may live [02421]: but I have not been called [07121] to come in [0935] unto the king [04428] these thirty [07970] days [03117].
4 Draw [04900] me, we will run [07323] after [0310] thee: the king [04428] hath brought [0935] me into his chambers [02315]: we will be glad [01523] and rejoice [08055] in thee, we will remember [02142] thy love [01730] more than wine [03196]: the upright [04339] love [0157] thee.
3 Because of the savour [07381] of thy good [02896] ointments [08081] thy name [08034] is as ointment [08081] poured forth [07324], therefore do the virgins [05959] love [0157] thee.
16 And [2532] other [243] sheep [4263] I have [2192], which [3739] are [2076] not [3756] of [1537] this [5026] fold [833]: them also [2548] I [3165] must [1163] bring [71], and [2532] they shall hear [191] my [3450] voice [5456]; and [2532] there shall be [1096] one [3391] fold [4167], and one [1520] shepherd [4166].
14 She shall be brought [02986] unto the king [04428] in raiment of needlework [07553]: the virgins [01330] her companions [07464] that follow [0310] her shall be brought [0935] unto thee.
15 With gladness [08057] and rejoicing [01524] shall they be brought [02986]: they shall enter [0935] into the king's [04428] palace [01964].
4 And [2532] when [3752] he putteth forth [1544] his own [2398] sheep [4263], he goeth [4198] before [1715] them [846], and [2532] the sheep [4263] follow [190] him [846]: for [3754] they know [1492] his [846] voice [5456].
60 I made haste [02363], and delayed [04102] not to keep [08104] thy commandments [04687].
32 I will run [07323] the way [01870] of thy commandments [04687], when thou shalt enlarge [07337] my heart [03820].
31 But they that wait [06960] upon the LORD [03068] shall renew [02498] their strength [03581]; they shall mount up [05927] with wings [083] as eagles [05404]; they shall run [07323], and not be weary [03021]; and they shall walk [03212], and not faint [03286].
45 Philip [5376] findeth [2147] Nathanael [3482], and [2532] saith [3004] unto him [846], We have found [2147] him, of whom [3739] Moses [3475] in [1722] the law [3551], and [2532] the prophets [4396], did write [1125], Jesus [2424] of [575] Nazareth [3478], the son [5207] of Joseph [2501].
41 He [3778] first [4413] findeth [2147] his own [2398] brother [80] Simon [4613], and [2532] saith [3004] unto him [846], We have found [2147] the Messias [3323], which [3739] is [2076], being interpreted [3177], the Christ [5547].
2 Let him kiss [05401] me with the kisses [05390] of his mouth [06310]: for thy love [01730] is better [02896] than wine [03196].
7 Tell [05046] me, O thou whom my soul [05315] loveth [0157], where thou feedest [07462], where [0349] thou makest thy flock to rest [07257] at noon [06672]: for [04100] why should I be as one that turneth aside [05844] by the flocks [05739] of thy companions [02270]?
32 And I [2504], if [1437] I be lifted up [5312] from [1537] the earth [1093], will draw [1670] all [3956] men unto [4314] me [1683].
4 I drew [04900] them with cords [02256] of a man [0120], with bands [05688] of love [0160]: and I was to them as they that take off [07311] the yoke [05923] on their jaws [03895], and I laid [05186] meat [0398] unto them.
3 The LORD [03068] hath appeared [07200] of old [07350] unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved [0157] thee with an everlasting [05769] love [0160]: therefore with lovingkindness [02617] have I drawn [04900] thee.
44 No man [3762] can [1410] come [2064] to [4314] me [3165], except [3362] the Father [3962] which [3588] hath sent [3992] me [3165] draw [1670] him [846]: and [2532] I [1473] will raise [450] him [846] up [450] at the last [2078] day [2250].
2 Let another man [02114] praise [01984] thee, and not thine own mouth [06310]; a stranger [05237], and not thine own lips [08193].
7 Many [07227] waters [04325] cannot [03201] quench [03518] love [0160], neither can the floods [05104] drown [07857] it: if a man [0376] would give [05414] all the substance [01952] of his house [01004] for love [0160], it would utterly [0936] be contemned [0936].
1 O that [05414] thou wert as my brother [0251], that sucked [03243] the breasts [07699] of my mother [0517]! when I should find [04672] thee without [02351], I would kiss [05401] thee; yea, I should not be despised [0936].
3 The earth [0776] and all the inhabitants [03427] thereof are dissolved [04127]: I bear up [08505] the pillars [05982] of it. Selah [05542].
2 Yea, in heart [03820] ye work [06466] wickedness [05766]; ye weigh [06424] the violence [02555] of your hands [03027] in the earth [0776].
2 Yea, in heart [03820] ye work [06466] wickedness [05766]; ye weigh [06424] the violence [02555] of your hands [03027] in the earth [0776].
2 Let my sentence [04941] come forth [03318] from thy presence [06440]; let thine eyes [05869] behold [02372] the things that are equal [04339].
16 Yea, my reins [03629] shall rejoice [05937], when thy lips [08193] speak [01696] right things [04339].
3 To receive [03947] the instruction [04148] of wisdom [07919], justice [06664], and judgment [04941], and equity [04339];
24 This is the day [03117] which the LORD [03068] hath made [06213]; we will rejoice [01523] and be glad [08055] in it.
24 He shall flee [01272] from the iron [01270] weapon [05402], and the bow [07198] of steel [05154] shall strike him through [02498].
16 Hast thou found [04672] honey [01706]? eat [0398] so much as is sufficient [01767] for thee, lest thou be filled [07646] therewith, and vomit [06958] it.
29 Seest [02372] thou a man [0376] diligent [04106] in his business [04399]? he shall stand [03320] before [06440] kings [04428]; he shall not stand [03320] before [06440] mean [02823] men.
7 My heart [03820] is fixed [03559], O God [0430], my heart [03820] is fixed [03559]: I will sing [07891] and give praise [02167].
32 And I [2504], if [1437] I be lifted up [5312] from [1537] the earth [1093], will draw [1670] all [3956] men unto [4314] me [1683].
44 No man [3762] can [1410] come [2064] to [4314] me [3165], except [3362] the Father [3962] which [3588] hath sent [3992] me [3165] draw [1670] him [846]: and [2532] I [1473] will raise [450] him [846] up [450] at the last [2078] day [2250].
3 The LORD [03068] hath appeared [07200] of old [07350] unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved [0157] thee with an everlasting [05769] love [0160]: therefore with lovingkindness [02617] have I drawn [04900] thee.
4 I drew [04900] them with cords [02256] of a man [0120], with bands [05688] of love [0160]: and I was to them as they that take off [07311] the yoke [05923] on their jaws [03895], and I laid [05186] meat [0398] unto them.
