Song of Solomon 7:6

for delights Better, among delights, i.e. how surpassingly delightful is love above all other pleasures of life. The word translated delightsdoes not necessarily, or even generally, mean sensuous delights, as some say. Cp. Proverbs 19:10; Micah 1:16; Micah 2:9. This sudden turn to the praise of love, not the beloved, is abrupt, but it has frequent parallels in the love poetry of the East, cp. the ode written out for Wetzstein at Kenakir. (Cp. his Essay on the Threshing-Board, loc. cit.) That the Heb. verb yâphâhmay be used of love in this abstract sense may be inferred from Ezekiel 28:7, where the noun of this root is used in a similar abstract way in the phrase, "the beauty of thy wisdom."
