Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.
Those who fear the Lord are addressed, identified as the seed of Jacob and the seed of Israel, and they are called to praise Him, to glorify Him, and to fear Him. Declaring God's name in the midst of the congregation includes inviting His people to honor Him. To declare His name and praise Him among the congregation in this way is a privilege.
This call to praise rests on God's care for the afflicted, for He has not despised or turned away from their affliction but hears them when they cry to Him. Praising God is the fitting response of His people, and the reverence they owe belongs to God Himself rather than to human guides. His people are therefore to educate themselves to praise Him more, including by praising Him in the congregation.
