To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.
Have mercy on me, O God, according to thy steadfast love; according to thy abundant mercy blot out my transgressions.

I bow down toward thy holy temple and give thanks to thy name for thy steadfast love and thy faithfulness; for thou hast exalted above everything thy name and thy word.

Oh, how I love thy law! It is my meditation all the day.

O give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures for ever!

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! "May they prosper who love you!

But I through the abundance of thy steadfast love will enter thy house, I will worship toward thy holy temple in the fear of thee.

But let all who take refuge in thee rejoice, let them ever sing for joy; and do thou defend them, that those who love thy name may exult in thee.

The LORD tests the righteous and the wicked, and his soul hates him that loves violence.

O men, how long shall my honor suffer shame? How long will you love vain words, and seek after lies? [Selah]

He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is diligent to discipline him.
