Study Lenses

The verse centers on "magnifying", "salvation", "king", "doing", "kindness", "anointed", "david", and "seed--unto". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "magnifying" and "salvation", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.

The prior verse says "Therefore I confess Thee among nations O...", giving immediate footing for "magnifying" and "salvation". 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 "magnifying" and "salvation" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
