Let them exalt Him
The phrase "Let them exalt Him" calls for a public and communal act of lifting up God's name. The Hebrew root for "exalt" is "rum," which means to raise or elevate. This is not merely a private acknowledgment but a public declaration of God's greatness. Historically, the Israelites were encouraged to exalt God in their worship, recognizing His sovereignty and mighty acts. This act of exaltation is a response to God's deliverance and faithfulness, as seen throughout the psalm. It is a call to recognize God's supreme authority and to give Him the honor due to His name.

in the assembly of the people
The "assembly of the people" refers to a gathering of the community, often for worship or important communal decisions. The Hebrew word "qahal" is used here, which denotes a congregation or gathering. In ancient Israel, the assembly was a place where God's people came together to worship, learn, and make decisions. This setting emphasizes the communal aspect of worship and the importance of coming together as a body of believers to honor God. It reflects the biblical principle that worship is not just an individual act but a corporate one, where the community collectively acknowledges God's greatness.

and praise Him
"Praise Him" involves expressing admiration and gratitude towards God. The Hebrew word "halal" is used, which means to boast or celebrate. Praise is a central theme in the Psalms, and it is an essential response to God's character and deeds. This act of praise is not just about singing or speaking words but involves a heartfelt acknowledgment of God's goodness and mercy. It is an invitation to celebrate God's attributes and works, recognizing His hand in the lives of His people.

in the council of the elders
The "council of the elders" refers to a group of respected leaders within the community. The Hebrew word "sod" is used, which can mean a secret or intimate counsel. In ancient Israel, elders were often the decision-makers and held positions of authority and wisdom. Praising God in their presence signifies the importance of acknowledging God's role in guiding and sustaining the community. It underscores the idea that even those in positions of authority are to recognize and honor God's sovereignty. This phrase highlights the importance of leadership in worship and the role of elders in setting an example for the community in exalting God.

(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.).
