Chesed is famously hard to translate: lovingkindness, steadfast love, mercy, faithfulness. It describes loyal love within a relationship — love that keeps its commitments even when the other party fails.

It is the heartbeat of God’s character revealed to Moses: “abounding in steadfast love (chesed) and faithfulness.” The Psalms return again and again to the refrain that his chesed “endures forever.” It is covenant love you can stake your life on.
