Exegesis
The coordinated phrase kai tō onomati sou psalō {καὶ τῷ ὀνόματί σου ψαλῶ | kaí tôi onomátí soû psalô} adds a second, parallel commitment: ‘and to Your name I will sing’, where the dative tō onomati sou functions as the recipient or focus of the singing. The syntax thus moves from a general theological assertion about Gentile glorification of God to a first-person psalmic declaration that models this praise among the nations, and the English renderings preserve this movement by keeping the causal links (“for,” “because of this”) and the parallel first-person future verbs in the quotation.
