If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind the word faithfulness, you can express the same idea with a verbal form such as “faithfully” or “faithful.” See how you translated “covenant faithfulness” in 2 Chronicles 7:3. Alternate translation: “he faithfully loves us forever” or “he is always faithful to his covenant with us”
