How long, you people, shall my honor suffer shame? How long will you love vain words and seek after lies? Selah

But I, through the abundance of your steadfast love, will enter your house; I will bow down toward your holy temple in awe of you.

But let all who take refuge in you rejoice; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, so that those who love your name may exult in you.

Turn, O Lord, save my life; deliver me for the sake of your steadfast love.

The Lord tests the righteous and the wicked, and his soul hates the lover of violence.

For the Lord is righteous; he loves righteous deeds; the upright shall behold his face.

But I trusted in your steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.

Wondrously show your steadfast love, O savior of those who seek refuge from their adversaries at your right hand.

Psalm 18

Royal Thanksgiving for Victory

To the leader. A Psalm of David the servant of the Lord, who addressed the words of this song to the Lord on the day when the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. He said:

I love you, O Lord, my strength.

Great triumphs he gives to his king and shows steadfast love to his anointed, to David and his descendants forever.

For the king trusts in the Lord, and through the steadfast love of the Most High he shall not be moved.

Be mindful of your mercy, O Lord, and of your steadfast love, for they have been from of old.

Do not remember the sins of my youth or my transgressions; according to your steadfast love remember me, for the sake of your goodness, O Lord!

All the paths of the Lord are steadfast love and faithfulness, for those who keep his covenant and his decrees.

For your steadfast love is before my eyes, and I walk in faithfulness to you.

O Lord, I love the house in which you dwell and the place where your glory abides.

I will exult and rejoice in your steadfast love, because you have seen my affliction; you have taken notice of my adversities

Let your face shine upon your servant; save me in your steadfast love.

Blessed be the Lord, for he has wondrously shown his steadfast love to me when I was beset as a city under siege.

Love the Lord, all you his saints. The Lord preserves the faithful but abundantly repays the one who acts haughtily.

Many are the torments of the wicked, but steadfast love surrounds those who trust in the Lord.

He loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the steadfast love of the Lord.

Truly the eye of the Lord is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his steadfast love,

Let your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us, even as we hope in you.

Your steadfast love, O Lord, extends to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds.
