Psalms 107:32

Psalms 107:32. The people—and—elders— The people are here opposed to the elders, and both together signify the whole assembly or congregation; for, among the Jews, the doctors, the rulers of the synagogue, and the elders, had a distinct apartment from the people; and, the service being much in antiphone or response, part was spoken by those who officiated in the seat of the elders, and part by the multitude of the people at large, who answered amen, at least, at their giving thanks.
