1 Chronicles 16:14
12 Remember the wonders He has done, His marvels, and the judgments He has pronounced,
13 O offspring of His servant Israel, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones.
He is the LORD our God; His judgments carry throughout the earth.
15 Remember His covenant forever, the word He ordained for a thousand generations—
16 the covenant He made with Abraham, and the oath He swore to Isaac.
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
