'Loved' in the Bible

Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated wickedness: Therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee With the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

He chooseth our inheritance for us, The glory of Jacob whom he loved. Selah

But chose the tribe of Judah, The mount Zion which he loved.

Yea, he loved cursing, and it came unto him; And he delighted not in blessing, and it was far from him.

And I will delight myself in thy commandments, Which I have loved.

I will lift up my hands also unto thy commandments, which I have loved; And I will meditate on thy statutes.
