Exegesis
The imperative doxason {δόξασόν | dó-xa-son} ‘glorify’ governs the object sou to onoma {σου τὸ ὄνομα | soû tò ó-no-ma} ‘Your name’, where the genitive pronoun sou modifies the articular noun onoma to denote the divine reputation and revealed identity. This opening clause is a succinct petition that foregrounds divine honor as the central concern.
