Because God is truly glorious4. And idols are vanity 9. He exhorts to confidence in God 12. God is to be blessed for his blessing Not to us, O LORD, not to us This phrase emphasizes humility and the recognition that human achievements and successes are not for self-glorification. In the biblical context, Israel often faced the temptation to attribute victories and prosperity to their own strength. This plea for God to receive glory reflects a deep understanding of human limitations and the need for divine intervention. The repetition underscores the earnestness of the request, aligning with the biblical theme of God opposing the proud but giving grace to the humble (James 4:6). but to Your name be the glory because of Your loving devotion because of Your faithfulness Persons / Places / Events 1. The LORD (Yahweh)The covenant name of God, emphasizing His eternal existence and faithfulness to His promises. 2. Israel While not directly mentioned in this verse, the context of the Psalm is a communal prayer likely from the perspective of the nation of Israel, seeking to glorify God. 3. The Psalmist The author of the Psalm, traditionally attributed to the community of Israel or a leader within it, expressing a collective desire to honor God. Teaching Points God's Glory is ParamountThe focus of our lives should be to glorify God, not ourselves. This requires humility and a recognition of God's supreme worth. Motivated by God's Character Our desire to glorify God should stem from His loving devotion (Hebrew: "chesed") and faithfulness (Hebrew: "emet"), which are central to His nature. Communal Worship This verse encourages collective worship and acknowledgment of God's glory, reminding us of the importance of community in our faith journey. Dependence on God Recognizing that any success or blessing is due to God's faithfulness, not our own merit, fosters a spirit of gratitude and dependence on Him. Witness to the World By attributing glory to God, we serve as witnesses to His character and work, drawing others to Him.(1) Not unto us . . .--This rejection of all self-praise is implied in all Hebrew poetry. Mercy . . . truth . . .--Both a distinct reference to the covenant. Both these covenanted blessings were assailed by the heathen taunt, "Where is now their God?" It is difficult for us to reproduce in imagination the apparent triumph, which the idolater, who could point to his deity, felt he had over the worshipper of the invisible God, when outward events seemed to be going against the latter. But we may estimate the strength of the conviction, which even under the apparent withdrawal of Divine favour, could point to the heavens as the abode of the Invisible, and to misfortune itself as a proof of the existence and power of One who could in everything do what pleased him. Verse 1. - Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto thy Name give glory. God is prayed to help Israel, but not for their sakes, not to cover them with glory - rather for his own sake, that glory may rest on his Name, and himself, among the nations.
