“Praise ye the Lord. I will praise the Lord with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation.”
Praise the LORD! I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart, in the company of the upright, in the congregation. The acrostic psalm opens with commitment to whole-hearted thanksgiving in corporate context ('company of the upright,' 'congregation'). The public nature of praise suggests that individual thanksgiving participates in communal worship. This verse establishes the framework: thanksgiving encompasses the whole person and the whole community.
