Exegesis
Each verb is followed by a prepositional phrase—lă-Yəhōwāh {לַיהוָה | lă-Yəhōwāh} ‘to the LORD’, bišmô {בִּשְׁמוֹ | bišmô} ‘in His name’, bāʿammîm ʿălilôtāw {בָעַמִּים עֲלִילוֹתָיו | bāʿammîm ʿălilôtāw} ‘among the peoples His deeds’. The construct chain in ʿălilôtāw links ‘deeds’ to the suffix ‘His’, specifying the content of proclamation. This structure forms a parallelism that escalates from gratitude to invocation to global testimony.
In context — 1 Chronicles 16:8
Give thanks to the LORD ; call on His name; make known among the peoples His deeds .
