S. Chrysostom, commenting on the words, “I will give thanks unto Thee, O Lord Ps. ix. 1:  ᾽Εξομολογήσομαί σοι, Κύριε.,” says, “There are two kinds of exomologesis; for it is either a condemnation of our own sins or a giving of thanks to God.”  The link between these two ideas is seen in Joshua’s exhortation to Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory to the Lord, the God of Israel, and make confession Joshua vii. 19, Sept. ἐξομολόγησιν. unto Him.  R.V. Margin.  Or, give praise.
