O offspring of Abraham
This phrase calls to mind the covenantal relationship established between God and Abraham, the patriarch of the Israelites. The Hebrew word for "offspring" is "zera," which can mean seed, descendants, or progeny. This term emphasizes the continuity of God's promises through generations. Abraham is a central figure in the Bible, known for his faith and obedience to God. The reference to Abraham here is a reminder of the covenant God made with him, promising that his descendants would be as numerous as the stars and that through him all nations would be blessed (Genesis 12:1-3). This covenant is foundational to the identity of the Israelites as God's chosen people.

His servant
The term "servant" in Hebrew is "ebed," which denotes a person who is in service to another, often with connotations of loyalty and dedication. In the context of the Bible, being a servant of God is a position of honor and responsibility. Abraham is referred to as God's servant, highlighting his role in God's divine plan and his faithful obedience. This phrase underscores the idea that those who are part of Abraham's lineage are called to serve God, following Abraham's example of faithfulness and devotion.

O sons of Jacob
Jacob, also known as Israel, is another patriarchal figure whose life and experiences are pivotal in the history of the Israelites. The Hebrew word for "sons" is "ben," which can mean sons, children, or descendants. Jacob's twelve sons became the progenitors of the twelve tribes of Israel, making this phrase a direct reference to the nation of Israel. By invoking Jacob, the psalmist is reminding the Israelites of their heritage and the promises God made to their forefathers. Jacob's life was marked by struggles and triumphs, and his account is a testament to God's faithfulness and the fulfillment of His promises.

His chosen ones
The phrase "chosen ones" comes from the Hebrew word "bachar," which means to choose, select, or elect. This term signifies God's sovereign choice of Israel as His special people, set apart for His purposes. Being chosen by God is a theme that runs throughout the Bible, emphasizing God's grace and the special relationship He has with His people. This designation as "chosen ones" is not just a privilege but also a call to live in accordance with God's will and to be a light to the nations. It is a reminder of the responsibility that comes with being part of God's covenant community.

Verse 6. - O ye seed of Abraham his servant; i.e. "his faithful and obedient follower" (see below, ver. 42; and comp. Genesis 26:24; Galatians 3:9). Ye children of Jacob his chosen; rather, his chosen ones. The word is in the plural, and must be referred, not to "Jacob," but to "children."
