In this chapter, (1.) Jesus Christ having espoused his church to himself, (chap. Song of Solomon 4:11.) highly commends her beauty in the several instances of it, concluding her fair, all fair, Song of Solomon 4:1-5 and again, Song of Solomon 4:7. (2.) He retires himself, and invites her with him, from the mountains of terror to those of delight, Song of Solomon 4:6; Song of Solomon 4:8. (3.) He professeth his love to her, and his delight in her affection to him, Song of Solomon 4:9; Song of Solomon 4:14. (4.) She ascribes all she had that was valuable in her to him, and depends upon the continued influence of his grace, to make her more and more acceptable to him, Song of Solomon 4:15-16.
