From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

I will give thee thanks ... -That is, When I am delivered I will publicly express my gratitude and joy. ComparePsalms 22:25;Psalms 18:49. I will praise thee among much people -Margin, “strong.” So the Hebrew. The idea here is, “strong in respect to numbers;” that is, when a large body of people should be assembled together.
