Psalm 115:1
“Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth’s sake.”
KJV
Read in Psalm 115Meaning
The community's first move is not self-congratulation but dependence on God's covenant character.
Glory belongs to God
The opening redirects glory to God and answers the nations' challenge by affirming divine sovereignty.
Read carefully
The verse rejects ultimate self-glory, not honest recognition of human effort and responsibility.
Reflection
Give credit truthfully and resist turning spiritual language into personal branding.
