Exegesis
The main finite verb of the quotation is exomologēsomai {ἐξομολογήσομαί | ex-o-mo-lo-gé-so-mai} ‘I will confess, acknowledge, praise’, taking soi {σοὶ | soí} ‘to You’ as indirect object and en ethnesi {ἐν ἔθνεσι | en éth-ne-si} ‘among the nations’ as a locative phrase denoting the public sphere of praise.
In context — Romans 15:9
But the nations , for mercy, are to glorify God , just as it is written: “Because of this I will praise You among the nations, and I will sing to Your name.”
