Quick answer
David and the people thank God and praise his glorious name.
Overview
The doxology turns to heartfelt thanksgiving, the natural response to recognizing that all things come from God. Praising God's 'glorious name' honors his revealed character and reputation. Such gratitude is the proper posture of those who have received everything from grace, and it foreshadows the worship of the redeemed who glorify God's name forever (Revelation 15:4).
