Psalms 57:9 Summary
This verse is saying that we should tell everyone, no matter where they are from, how great God is and how much we love Him. We can do this by singing songs, telling stories, or just talking about how good God has been to us. It's like Psalms 100:1-2 says, to make a joyful noise to the Lord, and to serve Him with gladness. By praising God among the nations, we can show them how much God loves us and wants to be in a relationship with us, just like it says in John 3:16, that God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, so that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.

Gill's Exposition on Psalms 57:9
I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people,.... Either among the people of Israel, as Aben Ezra, when each of the tribes meet together; and so it denotes the public manner in which he would praise
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Psalms 57:9
My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise. -Determination to praise God. Verse 7. My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed - literally, prepared, established.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Psalms 57:9
Among the people; in the great congregations; amongst the Israelites of all tribes, who are called by this name, , and amongst the heathens, as I shall have occasion, as he often had.
Trapp's Commentary on Psalms 57:9
Psalms 57:9 I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto thee among the nations. Ver. 9. I will praise thee, O Lord … among the nations] This was done by Christ calling the Gentiles, Psalms 18:49 Romans 15:9.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Psalms 57:9
Verse 9. Among the people] The Israelites. Among the nations.] The Gentiles at large. A prophecy either relating to the Gospel times, Christ being considered as the Speaker: or a prediction that these Divine compositions should be sung, both in synagogues and in Christian churches, in all the nations of the earth. And it is so: wherever the name of Christ is known, there is David's known also.
Cambridge Bible on Psalms 57:9
9. I will give thanks unto thee, O Lord, among the peoples: I will make melody unto thee among the nations. This verse at any rate, it is said, could never have been written by David, and is only really intelligible, if the Psalmist speaks in the name of the nation. But the words are not unsuitable for one who was chosen to be king over a nation which had a special calling in relation to the nations of the world. If the nations were to be brought under the sway of Israel that they might be taught to know Jehovah, it was fitting that they should hear of Jehovah’s faithfulness exhibited in the deliverance of His servant. Cp. Psalms 18:49 (with the context); Psalms 9:11.
Barnes' Notes on Psalms 57:9
I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people - So great a deliverance as he here hoped for, would make it proper that he should celebrate the praise of God in the most public manner; that he should
Whedon's Commentary on Psalms 57:9
9. People… nations—In each place the original word is the same. The repetition is for emphasis, and the plural (peoples, nations) must be understood of the Gentile nations.
