Salvation's Purpose is Praise
Commentators consistently highlight that the psalmist's primary motivation for wanting deliverance is to publicly praise God. He desires to be saved from the 'gates of death' specifically so he can declare God's goodness at the 'gates of Zion'—the place of public worship and community life. This frames personal salvation not as an end in itself, but as a means to glorify God.
