Non nobis Domine: The music heard on this page
Non nobis Domine is a short Latin hymn used as a prayer of thanksgiving and expression of humility. The Latin text corresponds to Psalm 115:1 in the King James Version. It reads,
Latin:
Non nobis, non nobis, Domine
Sed nomini tuo da gloriam.
English:
Not to us, not to us, O Lord,
But to thy name give glory.
In the NIV version, Psalm 115:1 reads:
Not to us, LORD, not to us but to your name be the glory, because of your love and faithfulness.
This Psalm as a liturgical recitation in the Paschal vigil is dated to about the 12th century. The current form, a Moet, dates to about the 16th century.
Non nobis Domine is usually sung as a three-part perpetual canon with the two comites entering at the lower fourth and lower octave in relation to the dux. This is the version given in most of the early sources.
