The psalmist prays for God’s blessings on his faithful people. Seek in line a means to go to the Temple to worship God (see comments on 24.6b). In line b in thee means “because of you,” “because of what you have done.” This phrase need not be represented formally, since the meaning is inherent in the expression “come to you” (see New Jerusalem Bible). Parallel lines may be used, as follows: “May all who seek you rejoice; may all who come to you be glad.”

Love thy salvation does not mean “love being saved by you”; here it may mean “to wish, desire,” or else “who are grateful for” (see Good News Translation). New English Bible “who long for”; New Jerusalem Bible “who are eager for”; Biblia Dios Habla Hoy, Die Bibel im heutigen Deutsch “desire.” Bible en français courant translates “who love you, the Savior.” In some languages it will be essential to transform thy salvation into a clause; for example, “may all you have saved give you thanks,” or “may all the people you have saved show they are thankful,” or “may everyone who wants you to save them….”
