Exegesis
The aorist infinitive doxasai {δοξάσαι | doxá-sai} ‘to glorify’ functions as an infinitive of result or purpose, summarizing what the nations are to do, with ton theon {τὸν θεόν | tòn theón} ‘God’ as its direct object.
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.”
