Why did he say "Hotzi'ah mi'Masger Nafshi"?
Radak: He was closed in, in the cave.
Malbim: His Nefesh was closed in the cave, and could not serve Hashem.

Who will thank Hashem, and why?
Rashi: Tzadikim will thank Him, for He supports those who fear Him.
Radak: I will thank You, for You alone saved me.
Malbim: (a) I will, after You take me out of my closure in inability to serve You. (b) Via me, also others will thank. Refer to 142:8:3:1*.
What is the meaning of "Bi Yaktiru Tzadikim"?
Rashi: Due to me, Tzadikim will crown You 1 .
Radak: Tzadikim will be glorified through me, and make me a crown for their heads. They will say, since David trusted in Hashem alone, He saved him, and he was an individual, or he had a smaller Am with him than the king and the Am with him.
Malbim: They will give to You a crown of thanks and praise, via what You will bestow on me based on love.
