Psalm 107:32
Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.
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 and service of God in some one place; and here the Lord should be praised, and his name exalted, by those who have received favours from him; see Ps 111:1, the Targum explains it,
"in the congregation of the people of the house of Israel.''
and praise him in the assembly of the elders; or, "in the seat", or "chair of the elders {s}": not of the Scribes and Pharisees, and elders of the people, that sat in Moses's chair; but rather of the four and twenty elders, who are said to have four and twenty seats round the throne, where they worship and praise God; and which are emblems of Gospel churches; the members of which, for their grace, gravity, and prudence, are called elders; and over which elders in office preside, and who rule well, and labour in the word and doctrine; see Revelation 4:4. The Targum renders it,
"the sanhedrim of the wise men.''
