the LORD (Hebrew Yahweh): This is the covenant name of God (Exodus 6:2–3; 20:2) and appears in Daniel only in this chapter.
God remains faithful to his covenant with those who love and obey him (compare Exodus 34:6–7; Deuteronomy 7:9; Romans 8:28). God's unfailing love is his core nature. The Hebrew word is khesed, which is also sometimes translated as “grace,” “mercy,” or “kindness.” It inspires faith, hope, and worship throughout the Bible (see Numbers 14:18; Nehemiah 9:17; Psalms 108:4; 136:1–26; Jonah 2:4; 1 John 4:7–8).
