Passage
A canticle for David himself, when the house was built after the captivity. Sing ye to the Lord a new canticle: sing to the Lord, all the earth. Sing ye to the Lord and bless his name: shew forth his salvation from day to day. Declare his glory among the Gentiles: his wonders among all people. For the Lord is great, and exceedingly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the Gentiles are devils: but the Lord made the heavens. Praise and beauty are before him: holiness and majesty in his sanctuary. Bring ye to the Lord, O ye kindreds of the Gentiles, bring ye to the Lord glory and honour:

Study Lenses
The verse centers on "canticle", "david", "himself", "house", "built", "after", "captivity", and "sing". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "canticle" and "david", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.
The next verse adds "Bring to the Lord glory unto his...", so "canticle" and "david" should be read forward into that movement. In Psalms context, the local focus is worship, trust, the LORD's kingship, and covenant mercy.
A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "canticle" and "david" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
