The words Non nobis, Domine come from Psalm 115, where they are translated as not unto us, O Lord, but unto thy name give glory. The phrase has long been used as a short prayer of humility in Christian worship, and composers and choirs have set it as a choral anthem and canon for centuries. Because the Latin text is short and instantly recognisable to listeners familiar with church music, recordings of it continue to circulate online for ceremonies, school and university occasions, and reflective edits where a traditional sacred sound is wanted.
