Exegesis
The prepositional phrase minhagoyim {מִן־הַגּוֹיִם | min-hă-gō-yîm} “from the nations” provides context, while the lamed-infinitive constructs lehodot {לְהֹדוֹת | lə-hō-ḏōṯ} “to give thanks” and lehishtabbe’ach {לְהִשְׁתַּבֵּחַ | lə-hi-štab-bē-ʼaḥ} “to glory” express purpose.
In context — 1 Chronicles 16:35
And say, “Save us, God of our salvation , and gather us and deliver us from the nations, to give thanks to your holy name and to glory in your praise .”
