Gill's Exposition on Psalms 107:32
Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people,.... Of the people of God, who are gathered out of the world into a church state; and who gather themselves together to attend the worship
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Psalms 107:32
Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Psalms 107:32
In the congregation of the people; not only in their own hearts and families, but even in public assemblies, and before all persons, as they have opportunity. In the assembly of the elders; the magistrates or rulers; who are here opposed to the people. The sense is, Let them not be ashamed nor afraid to speak of God’ s wonderful works and praises before the greatest of men, as mean persons commonly are. Compare . Or he mentions the elders particularly, because they were most apt to neglect and forget God, and to exalt themselves above and against him; and therefore it was meet and necessary that they should be acquainted with the almighty power and universal providence and dominion of God, that they themselves might learn subjection and reverence to God, and might promote it among their people.
Trapp's Commentary on Psalms 107:32
Psalms 107:32 Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.Ver. 32. Let them exalt him also in the congregation, &c.] i.e. In all public meetings, ecclesiastical and civil.
Ellicott's Commentary on Psalms 107:32
(32) Let them exalt.—The addition of this to the refrain, as of 22 to that of the last stanza, clearly points to a liturgical use in the psalm.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Psalms 107:32
Verse 32. Let them exalt him also in the congregation] Their deliverance from such imminent danger, and in a way which clearly showed the Divine interposition, demands, not only gratitude of heart and the song of praise at the end of the storm, but when they come to shore that they publicly acknowledge it in the congregation of God's people. I have been often pleased, when in sea-port towns, to see and hear notes sent to the minister from pious sailors, returning thanks to the Almighty for preservation from shipwreck, and, in general, from the dangers of the sea; and for bringing them back in safety to their own port. Thus "they exalt the Lord in the congregation, and praise him in the assembly of the elders." And is it not something of this kind that the psalmist requires?
Cambridge Bible on Psalms 107:32
32. Yea, let them exalt him in the assembly of the people, And praise him in the session of the elders. Let them publicly declare His praises in the temple and in the forum, where the congregation is assembled for worship (Psalms 22:22; Psalms 22:25), and where the rulers of the people sit in council.
Barnes' Notes on Psalms 107:32
Let them exalt him also - Let them lift up his name on high; let them make it conspicuous. The word means “to lift up,” and is applied to praise because we thus, as it were, “lift up” God, or make him conspicuous.
Whedon's Commentary on Psalms 107:32
32. People… elders—Both united in the same congregation in worship, the elders leading, and the people, at feast, responding Amen. The word rendered “assembly” is better understood of seat, as it is elsewhere.
