Non nobis Domine, non nobis, sed nomini tuo da gloriam

“Non nobis Domine, non nobis, sed nomini tuo da gloriam”

It was the motto of the Knights Templar and today it is the motto of the Catholic Templars, meaning: “Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory.”

The text is a translation of the middle verses of Psalm 113 (Vulgate) or of the opening of Psalm 115 (according to Hebrew numbering) — Psalm 114 of the Bible.
