LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.
I have loved. He ends this first part (Psalms 26:2-8) with love to God, as he began it (Psalms 26:3; Psalms 27:4).
The place ... honour dwelleth - the tabernacle where the Shechinah cloud of 'glory' was manifested (Exodus 40:34-35; Numbers 9:15-16). The place of the ark of the covenant, which recently David had brought to Zion was spiritually the center of devotion to all godly Israelites. Compare 2 Samuel 15:25.
