So I noticed this in yesterday's reading and found it interesting that it was said again, "...that you not stir up or awaken love until it pleases." As this was said again, I am wondering the significance. Is it saying that we shouldn't jump into something quickly, or that we should actually wait until there is love?
I marked these two verses the last time because they stood out to me, "The Lord is gracious and merciful slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. The Lord is good to all and his mercy is over all that he has made," and "The Lord is faithful in all his words and kind in all his works. The Lord upholds all who are falling and raises up all who are bowed down." The Lord is merciful and will forgive of us if we ask for forgiveness and he holds us up during our times of need if we bow down and ask for his help.

It sounds to me like it is saying exactly that. No need to go searching, Love will come when it is time and we should wait and not jump so quickly. It also seems that the woman is speaking highly of the love for her man. They both are, which alot of people are not good at. We tend to hang on to the difficulties in relationships.
The psalm seems to be telling of all the things that God does for us. That he is righteous and faithful to those that worship and praise him. That he watches over us and that we should speak in praise to God always.
