John Gill Commentary Psalms 107:32

"Let them exalt him also in the assembly of the people, And praise him in the seat of the elders." — Psalms 107:32 (ASV)

Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people ,
&c.] 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 (Psalms 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 ^F19 ": 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) (1 Timothy 5:17) . The Targum renders it, ``the sanhedrim of the wise men.''
