Commentaries on Psalms 115:1
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 1Not unto us, O Lord - We take no merit to ourselves; as thine is the kingdom, and the power in that kingdom, so is thy glory. For thy mercy, and for thy truth's sake - Thy mercy gave thy promise, thy truth fulfilled it.Read the comment

The vindication of God's mercy and faithfulness (Psa 25:10; 36:6) is the "glory" of His "name," which is desired to be illustrated in the deliverance of His people, as the implied mode of its manifestation. In view of the taunts of the heathen, faith in His dominion as enthroned in the heaven (Psa 2:4; 11:4) is avowed.Read the comment
