Psalms 105:6

King James Version (KJV)
Adam Clarke
Bible Commentary

O ye seed of Abraham - Ye Jews especially, who have been the peculiar objects of the Divine favor.

Albert Barnes
Notes on the Whole Bible

O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen - All you who are descendants of Abraham and Jacob; the former being particularly mentioned here because he was the great ancestor of the Hebrew people; the latter, because the events referred to were closely connected with the history of Jacob - with his going down into Egypt, and with the division of the tribes named after his sons. The word rendered “his chosen” would seem in our version to refer to Jacob. In the original, however, it is in the plural number, and must agree with the word rendered “children,” “Ye chosen sons of Jacob” (compare Psalm 105:43). So it has been translated in 1 Chronicles 16:13, “Ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.”

Matthew Henry
Concise Bible Commentary
Our devotion is here stirred up, that we may stir up ourselves to praise God. Seek his strength; that is, his grace; the strength of his Spirit to work in us that which is good, which we cannot do but by strength derived from him, for which he will be sought. Seek to have his favour to eternity, therefore continue seeking it while living in this world; for he will not only be found, but he will reward those that diligently seek him.
