115.1 Alleluia. Voce laudis congrue prætitulatur hic psalmus, quia in hoc psalmo verba sunt martyrum, qui confessione viguerunt et præmia Dei consecuti sunt. Credidi, etc. CASS. Primo memorantur beneficia Dei, quibus quid dignum redderent cum dubitent, occurrit calix passionis, qui a Deo datur. Secundo, servos se dicunt, et filios ancillæ, id est Ecclesiæ, ibi: O Domine, quia ego, etc. Verus et congruus ordo, prius credere, post loqui: ne nondum credens audeat loqui, sed fidem sequatur confessio. Ne vero confessio viribus hominis detur, dicit proprium hominis quod mendax: quod non facile sciret, nisi excessu mentis ad superna vectus esset. Magnum enim est si quis se imprudentem attendit. Et cum homo nihil boni proprium habeat, quid retribuendum? Credidi. AUG. Non ait: Credidi et locutus sum, quia non tantum credidit cætera quæ fides exigit, sed et simul cum illis credidit, et quod præmium loquendo sperare, et quod pœnam tacendo timere deberet; unde loquendi quidem amor ex præmio immittitur, et necessitas ex pœna indicitur. Propter quod. Non enim perfecte credit, qui quod credit non loquitur; piger est ille servus, vel timidus, sed fidelis: quod accepit, impendit, et lucratur, et ideo intrat in gaudium Domini sui, dicentis: Euge, serve bone et fidelis, intra in gaudium Domini tui Matth. 25.. In excessu meo. Vel, exstasi mea. AUG. Et dicitur hic exstasis, etc., usque ad quod est omnis homo mendax.

Not to us, Yahweh, not to us

The writer repeats the phrase “Not to us” in order to emphasize that they are not worthy to receive the honor that is due only to Yahweh. If necessary, a verbal phrase may be supplied here. Alternate translation: “Do not bring honor to us, Yahweh” (See also: figs-ellipsis)

to us

The word “us” refers to the people of Israel.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

for your covenant faithfulness and for your trustworthiness

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind the word faithfulness, you could express the same idea with an adjective.

Alternate translation: “because you are faithful to your covenant and you are worthy of people trusting you”
