freely.
praise.
for it.
 When delivered, or in the thought of deliverance, all that God is in relationship with His people comes into the soul for praise; but what God is as God is the resource of the soul. (Practical Reflections on the Psalms: Psalms 49-54 by J.N. Darby)
 Delivered from his enemies, the godly man will, with a willing heart, bring his sacrifice to Jehovah. His sacrifice would no more be the carrying out of legal obligation, or mere compliance with an outward form, but would be the expression of a grateful heart that recognizes how good is the Name of Jehovah. (Psalms 54 by H. Smith)
