O give thanks to the Lord of lords, for his steadfast love endures for ever; who alone does great wonders, for his steadfast love endures for ever; who by understanding made the heavens, for his steadfast love endures for ever; who spread out the earth on the waters, for his steadfast love endures for ever; who made the great lights, for his steadfast love endures for ever; the sun to rule over the day, for his steadfast love endures for ever; the moon and stars to rule over the night, for his steadfast love endures for ever. (Psalm 136: 1-9)
'Owlam Chesed is the Hebrew translated as his steadfast love endures for ever.
Chesed is to act with consistent goodness, kindness, and faithfulness. This is to love completely and without condition. This is the form of love most often attributed to God.
'Owlam is usually translated as everlasting or perpetual. It is derived from 'alam meaning concealed or secret. 'Owlam can be understood as similar to infinite, especially in being beyond our comprehension.
God's love is so great as to be beyond our ability to understand.
The appropriate and entirely sufficient response to this wonderful mystery is to give thanks.
