A Prophecy of Christ
Multiple commentators, including John Calvin and John Gill, emphasize that this verse is more than David's personal vow; it's a prophecy about the Messiah. They point to the Apostle Paul quoting this verse in Romans 15:9 as proof that it foretells Jesus bringing the good news to the 'nations' (the Gentiles), so that they too could praise God.
