Reference: Lovingkindness
Hastings
Two ideas are blended in this expressive word; it denotes kindness which springs from the loyalty of love. It is the frequent tr (30 times in the AV, 42 times in the RV) of the Heb. word chesedh, which G. A. Smith renders 'leal love' (Book of the Twelve Prophets, i. 243 n). The English Version most frequently tr chesedh 'mercy' and not seldom 'kindness.' The Amer. RV gives 'lovingkindness' uniformly when the reference is to God's love to man. The adoption of this helpful suggestion would bring out the connexion between 'lovingkindness' as a fundamental attribute of the Divine nature (Ex 34:6 f. etc.), its poetic personification (Ps 42:8; 57:3; 89:14), and the appeal to God to be true to Himself,
