Psalms 105:6
4 Seek out the LORD and His strength; seek His face always.
5 Remember the wonders He has done, His marvels, and the judgments He has pronounced,
O offspring of His servant Abraham, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones.
7 He is the LORD our God; His judgments carry throughout the earth.
8 He remembers His covenant forever, the word He ordained for a thousand generations—
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.
