Let them exalt Him in the assembly of the people
This phrase calls for public worship and acknowledgment of God's greatness. The "assembly of the people" refers to the gathering of the Israelites, which was a central aspect of their communal life. In ancient Israel, assemblies were often held at the temple in Jerusalem, a place of significant religious and cultural importance. This setting underscores the communal nature of worship, where individuals come together to honor God collectively. The act of exalting God in such a setting emphasizes the importance of corporate worship, a theme echoed in other scriptures such as Psalm 22:22 and Hebrews 2:12, where the faithful are encouraged to declare God's name among the congregation. This public declaration of faith serves as a testimony to others and strengthens the community's spiritual bond.

and praise Him in the council of the elders.
The "council of the elders" refers to the leaders and decision-makers within the community. In ancient Israel, elders were respected figures who held authority and were responsible for maintaining justice and order. Praising God in their presence highlights the importance of integrating faith into leadership and governance. This phrase suggests that those in positions of authority should also be involved in worship and set an example for others. It reflects the biblical principle that leadership should be grounded in reverence for God, as seen in passages like Proverbs 11:14 and 1 Timothy 5:17. The inclusion of elders in worship underscores the idea that all levels of society, from the general populace to its leaders, are called to honor God, ensuring that His principles guide both personal and communal life.

The Power of Testimony

Unity in Diversity
The assembly and council represent diverse groups coming together for a common purpose. This unity in diversity is a testament to the power of God's love and grace.(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.

Verse 32. - Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people. The psalmist holds it to be not enough for men who have received deliverances to thank God in their hearts, or secretly in their chambers. He requires them to make public profession of their thankfulness "in the congregation of the people." The Christian Church maintains the same attitude. And praise him in the assembly of the elders. The elders led the congregation and presided in it (Ezra 3:9-11; Ezra 6:16-22; Nehemiah 8:4-9; Nehemiah 9:4, 5; Nehemiah 12:27-43, etc.).
