Steadfast Love

Psalm 5

But I, through the abundance of your steadfast love,
will enter your house.
I will bow down toward your holy temple
in the fear of you. (v7)

חסד - Chesed

Here's a rather beautiful definition:

"Chesed can be properly described as an act that has no 'cause.'" It carries a covenental weight. Maybe loyalty, duty and love, is a good synonym. Another, grace.

But I, through the abundance of your unmerited, promised love, will enter your house.

Beautiful.
