Thomas Aquinas, on Ps 49:23

“The sacrifice of praise shall glorify me: and there is the way by which I will shew him the salvation of God.”

“"The sacrifice of praise shall honor me." Here he concludes what is acceptable to God in sacrifices. And he shows a twofold fruit in them. One fruit is on the part of God, that his excellence may be manifested; and this is done through the sacrifice of vocal praise. 1 Cor. 10: "Do all things for the glory of God." The other fruit is on our part, namely true salvation. Hence he says, "And there is the way by which I will show him the salvation of God," that is, unto seeing God. Is. 52: "They shall lift up their voice; together they shall praise." Jerome has, "And he who walks in an orderly manner, I will show him the salvation of God"; as if to say: two things are necessary for salvation, namely the sacrifice of praise and that you walk in an orderly manner.”
