1 Chronicles 16:12 Remember his wondrous works which he hath done; His miracles, and the judgments of his mouth:

1 Chronicles 16:13 Ye seed of Israel his servant, Ye sons of Jacob, his chosen ones.

1 Chronicles 16:14 He, Jehovah, is our God; His judgments are in all the earth.

1 Chronicles 16:16 Which he made with Abraham, And of his oath unto Isaac;

Study Lenses

The verse centers on "jehovah", "judgments", and "earth". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "jehovah" and "judgments", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.

The nearby context moves from verse 13's "Ye seed of Israel his servant Ye..." into verse 15's "Be ye ever mindful of his covenant...", so "jehovah" and "judgments" belong inside that flow. In 1 Chronicles context, the local focus is covenant, worship, and faithfulness.

A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "jehovah" and "judgments" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
