Quick answer
David longs to declare God's praise and rejoice in His salvation at the gates of Zion. Deliverance is sought so that God may be publicly praised.
Overview
David's motive in seeking rescue is to magnify God's praise in the public assembly at Zion's gates. Salvation leads to worship and testimony, not mere relief. His desire to rejoice in God's salvation finds its fullest object in the salvation God provides through Christ.
