The masses of the S-wave mesons consisting of the light (u, d, s) quarks are calculated within the constituent quark model. The relativistic Schrödinger-like equation with a confining potential is numerically solved for the complete relativistic [Formula: see text] potential including both spin-independent and spin-dependent terms. The obtained masses of the ground state π, ρ, K, K* and ϕ mesons and their first radial excitations are in a reasonably good overall agreement with experimental data.
