Unlike many of the Psalms there is no mention of David's own feelings or situation in this Psalm, it is just a pure declaration of God's greatness and glory. One is not better than the other, there are times to come to God in both ways. There are times when it is right to start with our situation, and there are times when it is good just to praise God for who He is.
The Lord's name is majestic in all the earth. There is no place, no land, no peoples, where the name of the Lord is not majestic. The whole earth will be filled with His glory, and every tribe and tongue will one day bow down and worship Christ.
Verse 2 reminds us how powerful praise is. It does not just make us feel good (though it will often do that), it has a powerful effect.
It is amazing that this all powerful majestic God should have concern for us. Though we made weak, we have been crowned with glory and honour. He has given us dominion over all things on the earth.
Many object to worshipping God, thinking that it belittles man. The truth is that when we worship Him, we become what we were always meant to be, and when we submit to Him, we find we have more authority than we ever imagined.
