While "lovingkindness" is now considered somewhat archaic, it is part of the traditional rendition of Psalms in English Bible translations.[4][5] Some more recent translations use "steadfast love" where KJV has "lovingkindness". "Have mercy on me, O God, according to thy steadfast love" (RSV 1952) A person who embodies chesed is known as a chasid (hasid, חסיד), one who is faithful to the covenant and who goes "above and beyond that which is normally required"[14] and a number of groups throughout Jewish history which focus on going "above and beyond" have called themselves chasidim.
