The key question of this psalm of thanksgiving is: "How can I repay the Lord for all his goodness to me?" The psalmist had clearly been in real trouble with "the cords of death entangled me... I was overcome by trouble and sorrow." However the Lord saved me, he says, the Lord has been good to me... and delivered my soul from death. So the psalmist lifted up the cup of salvation and fulfilled his vows... and sacrificed a thank-offering to the Lord.
