Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 115:1

1 NOt unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy Name give glory , for thy mercy, and for thy truths sake.

As we intreat thy favour and aid, and that thou wouldst work gloriously on our behalf to bring us out of our present straits and extremities, so we do not desire this out of a vainglorious humor, as usually men do in such cases, that we may get renown by the conquest of our proud and mighty enemies, but that thy honour may be vindicated from all their contempts and blasphemies; and if thou wilt deliver us, we will not arrogate the praise and glory of it to our own worth or valour, but onely to thy mercy and truth, as it follows.
