You sons of man, how long will my honor be treated as an insult? How long will you love what is worthless and strive for a lie? Selah

But rejoice, all who take refuge in You, Sing for joy forever! And may You shelter them, That those who love Your name may rejoice in You.

The Lord tests the righteous and the wicked, And His soul hates one who loves violence.

For the Lord is righteous, He loves righteousness; The upright will see His face.

The Lord Praised for Rescuing David.

For the music director. A Psalm of David, the servant of the Lord, who spoke to the Lord the words of this song on the day that the Lord rescued him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. And he said,

“I love You, Lord, my strength.”

Lord, I love the dwelling of Your house, And the place where Your glory remains.

Love the Lord, all His godly ones! The Lord watches over the faithful But fully repays the one who acts arrogantly.

He loves righteousness and justice; The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.

Who is the person who desires life And loves length of days, that he may see good?

For the Lord loves justice And does not abandon His godly ones; They are protected forever, But the descendants of the wicked will be eliminated.

My loved ones and my friends stand aloof from my plague; And my kinsmen stand far away.

May all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; May those who love Your salvation continually say, “The Lord be exalted!”

A Song Celebrating the King’s Marriage.

For the music director; according to the Shoshannim. A Maskil of the sons of Korah. A Song of Love.

My heart is moved with a good theme; I address my verses to the King; My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You With the oil of joy above Your companions.

He chooses our inheritance for us, The pride of Jacob whom He loves. Selah

You love evil more than good, Lies more than speaking what is right. Selah

You love all words that devour, You deceitful tongue.

The descendants of His servants will inherit it, And those who love His name will live in it.

May all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; And may those who love Your salvation say continually, “May God be exalted!”

But chose the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion, which He loved.

Longing for the Temple Worship.

For the music director; on the Gittith. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.

How lovely are Your dwelling places, Lord of armies!

The Lord loves the gates of Zion More than all the other dwelling places of Jacob.

You have removed lover and friend far from me; My acquaintances are in a hiding place.

“Because he has loved Me, I will save him; I will set him securely on high, because he has known My name.

Hate evil, you who love the Lord, Who watches over the souls of His godly ones; He saves them from the hand of the wicked.
