Quick answer
David vows to give great public thanks and praise to the Lord. Confident of rescue, he turns lament into worship.
Overview
Anticipating deliverance, David pledges loud, public praise 'among the multitude.' This movement from complaint to thanksgiving is characteristic of the psalms of lament, expressing faith that God will act. Praising God amid the congregation testifies to His faithfulness and invites others to trust Him.
