For thou lovest all things that exist: The idea in For is effectively represented in New Jerusalem Bible, which says “Yes, you love everything that exists.” This is simple enough, but Revised English Bible has a different approach that some may prefer: “for all existing things are dear to you.” Translators might also say “Yes, everything that exists is dear [or, precious] to you.”

And hast loathing for none of the things which thou hast made: This line says in negative terms the same thing as the previous line says positively. Good News Translation expresses it simply and clearly: “you do not despise anything that you have made.”

For thou wouldst not have made anything if thou hadst hated it: Good News Translation again is simple and clear; “in the first place” is added for the sake of idiomatic English. Another possible model is “otherwise, you would not have created everything” (Contemporary English Version).
