I will give thee thanks in the great
congregation
This is the resolution the psalmist came unto; the promise he
made, that should he be delivered from his enemies, he would give
God thanks in the most public manner; that is, he would
acknowledge God to be the author of the mercy, and himself
unworthy of it; and would ascribe glory, honour, blessing, and
thanksgiving to him, in the midst of the church and people of
God; they joining with him in it, when he should be restored to
an attendance with them he before prays for;
I will praise thee among much people;
meaning the same as before, the people of God meeting together
for solemn worship; the great congregation of all, and the much
people, will be the saints in heaven, when they shall be gathered
together, and sing the song of Moses and the Lamb. The words will
bear to be applied to the Messiah, see ( Psalms 22:22
) .
