Mercy, love, kindness, lovingkindness, goodness, steadfast love, and faithfulness; are some of the words different translations have used when conveying God's attribute of "abounding in love". But in reality, it is a combination of some of these that better convey the meaning of the Hebrew "khesed". It really carries the idea of a deep-seated zeal towards someone, expressed in acts of love, kindness, and generosity because of a promise that has been made to someone who has your undivided loyalty. Because of this loyalty you are motivated to go above and beyond what is expected. This is the idea behind khesed. I guess we can distill all of this down into Steadfast Lovingkindness.
