Because of your unfailing love, I can enter your house; I will worship at your Temple with deepest awe.

But let all who take refuge in you rejoice; let them sing joyful praises forever. Spread your protection over them, that all who love your name may be filled with joy.

For you bless the godly, O Lord; you surround them with your shield of love.

Return, O Lord, and rescue me. Save me because of your unfailing love.

The Lord examines both the righteous and the wicked. He hates those who love violence.

For the righteous Lord loves justice. The virtuous will see his face.

But I trust in your unfailing love. I will rejoice because you have rescued me.

Show me your unfailing love in wonderful ways. By your mighty power you rescue those who seek refuge from their enemies.

Psalm 18

For the choir director: A psalm of David, the servant of the Lord. He sang this song to the Lord on the day the Lord rescued him from all his enemies and from Saul. He sang:

I love you, Lord; you are my strength.

You give great victories to your king; you show unfailing love to your anointed, to David and all his descendants forever.

For the king trusts in the Lord. The unfailing love of the Most High will keep him from stumbling.

“Is this the one who relies on the Lord? Then let the Lord save him! If the Lord loves him so much, let the Lord rescue him!”

Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the Lord forever.

Remember, O Lord, your compassion and unfailing love, which you have shown from long ages past.

Do not remember the rebellious sins of my youth. Remember me in the light of your unfailing love, for you are merciful, O Lord.

The Lord leads with unfailing love and faithfulness all who keep his covenant and obey his demands.

For I am always aware of your unfailing love, and I have lived according to your truth.

I love your sanctuary, Lord, the place where your glorious presence dwells.

I will be glad and rejoice in your unfailing love, for you have seen my troubles, and you care about the anguish of my soul.

Let your favor shine on your servant. In your unfailing love, rescue me.

Praise the Lord, for he has shown me the wonders of his unfailing love. He kept me safe when my city was under attack.

Love the Lord, all you godly ones! For the Lord protects those who are loyal to him, but he harshly punishes the arrogant.

Many sorrows come to the wicked, but unfailing love surrounds those who trust the Lord.

He loves whatever is just and good; the unfailing love of the Lord fills the earth.

But the Lord watches over those who fear him, those who rely on his unfailing love.
