TUVA - The Wisdom Prayer (The Golden Rule) HD

Loving-kindness (or "lovingkindness") is a term coined by Myles Coverdale for his Coverdale Bible of 1535, as an English translation of the Hebrew word chesed (which appears in the Latin Vulgate as "misericordia"); in that text it is spelled "louinge kyndnesse".

It is also used in this sense in the American Standard Version and various other versions of the Bible. It is sometimes associated with the Greek term agape. This term is used often in the book of Psalms, and refers to acts of kindness, motivated by love.

It is used primarily to describe God, rather than people.
