O you sons of men, how long will you go on turning my glory into shame? how long will you give your love to foolish things, going after what is false? (Selah.)

I will give you my love, O Lord, my strength.

O have love for the Lord, all you his saints; for the Lord keeps safe from danger all those who are true to him, and gives the workers of pride their right reward.

What man has a love of life, and a desire that his days may be increased so that he may see good?

You have more love for evil than for good, for deceit than for works of righteousness. (Selah.)

The Lord has more love for the doors of Zion than for all the tents of Jacob.

Because he has given me his love, I will take him out of danger: I will put him in a place of honour, because he has kept my name in his heart.

For my love they give me back hate; but I have given myself to prayer.

They have put on me evil for good; hate in exchange for my love.

I have given my love to the Lord, because he has given ear to the voice of my cry and my prayer.

And so that I may take delight in your teachings, to which I have given my love.

O what love I have for your law! I give thought to it all the day.

All the sinners of the earth are like waste metal in your eyes; and for this cause I give my love to your unchanging word.

For this reason I have greater love far your teachings than for gold, even for shining gold.

See how great is my love for your orders: give me life, O Lord, in keeping with your mercy.

My soul has kept your unchanging word; great is my love for it.
