Love everyone, meditate often
I think he's saying that he's just thankful to be alive after all the times he could have been dead.

The superscription at the beginning tells you the subject matter.
"A melody. A song of inauguration of the house. Of David."
This Psalm is part of a dedication of God's house. David sings God's praises for all that he has done for him.
The whole Psalm is only 12 verses long....
"I will exalt you, O Jehovah, for you have lifted me up;
You did not let my enemies rejoice over me.
2 O Jehovah my God, I cried to you for help, and you healed me.
3 O Jehovah, you have lifted me up from the Grave.
You kept me alive; you spared me from sinking into the pit.
4 Sing praises to Jehovah, you his loyal ones,
Give thanks to his holy name;
5 Because being under his anger is only for a moment,
But being in his favor is for a lifetime.
Weeping may come in the evening, but in the morning, there is a joyful cry.
6 When I was untroubled, I said:
“I will never be shaken.”
7 O Jehovah, while I was in your favor, you made me as strong as a mountain.
But when you hid your face, I became terrified.
8 To you, O Jehovah, I kept calling;
And to Jehovah, I kept pleading for favor.
9 What profit is there in my death, in my going down to the pit?
Will the dust praise you? Will it tell of your faithfulness?
10 Hear, O Jehovah, and show me favor.
O Jehovah, become my helper.
11 You have changed my mourning into dancing;
You have removed my sackcloth, and you clothe me with rejoicing,
12 So that I may sing your praise and not keep silent.
O Jehovah my God, I will praise you forever."
How many times in his life did God rescue David from death? He had good reason to be singing God's praises.

Getting to know all of the psalms, would probably be best, my friend.
