Study note
Setting — The psalmist issues a corporate command for the gathered community to respond to God’s past acts of deliverance. The directive targets both the broader populace and the recognized leadership structure of Israel.
The words — The Hebrew verb וִֽרֹמְמוּ (vi.ro.me.mu.) carries a prefixed waw conjunction, translating literally as “and let them exalt.” It pairs with בְּקֶהֶל־עָם (be.khel-'am) to specify the location of this exaltation as “in the assembly of the people.”
The thread — This call to corporate praise echoes Psalms 22:22 and Psalms 22:25, where worship shifts from individual proclamation to public assembly, while Psalms 46:10 reinforces the theme of God being exalted among the nations.
Why it lands — The text demands that gratitude for divine intervention be expressed publicly through structured worship. Readers are asked to join the communal declaration rather than confine their response to private reflection.
