(Some words not found in UHB: from,far_away YHWH he/it_appeared to=me and,love everlasting loved,you on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in yes/correct/thus/so drawn,you faithfulness )

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 “faithful” or “faithfully.” Alternate translation: “I have been faithful to my covenant and brought you near to me” or “I have faithfully loved you and brought you near to me”
