**חֶסֶד אֵל כָּל הַיּוֹם.** לְהַצִּיל אֶת הַנִּרְדָּף עַל יָדְךָ. דָּבָר אַחֵר: **חֶסֶד אֵל כָּל הַיּוֹם**, אִלּוּ לֹא נָתַן לִי אֲחִימֶלֶךְ לֶחֶם, מְדֻמֶּה אַתָּה שֶׁאָמוּת בָּרָעָב? יֵשׁ חֶסֶד בַּהַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא עַל יִשְׂרָאֵל כָּל הַיּוֹם, וְאִם לֹא נָתַן לִי, יִתְּנוּ לִי אֲחֵרִים:

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**God’s kindness is constant** to rescue the one whom you pursue. Another explanation: God’s kindness is constant. Had Ahimelech not given me bread, do you think that I would have died of hunger? God always shows kindness toward Israel, and if he had not given me [to eat], others would have given me.
