Inhabiting the Praises of Israel

Reading in Ps 22.3 this morning and the ESV translates the second line as "enthroned upon the praises of Israel." This is not a very exact translation. It is put more literally as "inhabiting the praises of Israel." The point, however, is not changed. God inhabits or is enthroned upon the praises of his people. I like to think of it this way. Since it glorifies God to lift him up as the only infinitely holy and worthy being, in doing so God himself dwells or is enthroned upon those praises. When God's people praise him, God is glorified.
