You are altogether beautiful
The phrase "altogether beautiful" in Hebrew is "כֻּלָּךְ יָפָה" (kullak yafa). The word "altogether" (כֻּלָּךְ) emphasizes completeness and totality, suggesting that the beauty being described is not partial or limited but encompasses the entirety of the beloved. This reflects the divine perspective of seeing the Church, or the individual believer, as wholly beautiful through the lens of grace. Historically, this can be seen as a reflection of the idealized love and admiration that God has for His people, akin to the love between Christ and the Church as described in Ephesians 5:25-27. The beauty here is not merely physical but encompasses spiritual and moral beauty, symbolizing purity and righteousness.

my darling
The term "my darling" is translated from the Hebrew "רַעְיָתִי" (ra'yati), which conveys deep affection and endearment. This term is used throughout the Song of Solomon to express a profound and intimate bond. In a spiritual context, it reflects the personal and intimate relationship between Christ and the believer. The use of such a term in ancient Near Eastern poetry often indicated a cherished and exclusive relationship, highlighting the unique and personal love God has for each individual. This intimacy is a reminder of the personal nature of God's love, which is not distant or abstract but close and personal.

there is no flaw in you
The phrase "there is no flaw in you" comes from the Hebrew "וּמוּם אֵין בָּךְ" (umum ein bakh). The word "flaw" (מוּם) refers to blemishes or imperfections. In the context of the Song of Solomon, this is a poetic expression of the beloved's perfection in the eyes of the lover. From a theological perspective, this can be seen as a representation of the believer's standing before God, justified and made perfect through the sacrifice of Christ. Historically, this reflects the ancient practice of presenting offerings without blemish, symbolizing purity and acceptance. In the New Testament, this is echoed in passages like Colossians 1:22, where believers are presented holy and blameless before God. This assurance of being without flaw is a powerful reminder of the transformative power of divine love and grace.

Verse 7. - Thou art all fair, my love; and there is no spot in thee. The bridegroom speaks. The sweet humility and modesty of the bride kindles his love afresh. He praised the loveliness of her bodily form, and she by her response showed the exceeding loveliness of her soul. It must not be forgotten that, whether borrowed from this book or not, such language is undoubtedly employed in Scripture of the Church, the bride, the Lamb's wife, who is described as "not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing" (Ephesians 5:27). It should be noticed that the king immediately addresses his love as "bride," and "sister-bride," to show that there is more than admiration of her person in his thoughts. She is his by assimilation and by eternal union, and he invites her to enter fully into the new life which he has prepared for her, as in Psalm 45, "forgetting her own people, and her father's house." It is not enough that feeling should be stirred, or even that it should take possession of the soul, if it be only feeling; it is required of us that our inner life of emotion should become practical devotedness, "counting all things but loss" for the sake of him we love.
