From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

And now shall mine head -Now shall I be exalted. So we say that in affliction a person bows down his head; in prosperity he lifts it up. This verse expresses the confident expectation that he would be enabled to triumph over all his foes, and a firm purpose on his part, as the result of this, to offer sacrifices of praise to his great Deliverer. Above mine enemies round about me -All my enemies, though they seem even to encompass me on every side. Therefore will I offer in his tabernacle -In His tent, His dwelling-place: referring here, undoubtedly, to “the tabernacle” as a place where God was worshipped.
