‏ Psalms 142:7

v. 7: David prays, “Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me” (Psalm 142:7 a). He asks God to rescue him, not just for his own comfort, but so he can praise God and encourage others to do the same. David believes that when God saves him, other good people will join him in giving thanks and celebrating God’s goodness.
