Henry V -- "Non Nobis Domine"






This beautiful rendition of a classic hymn, "Non Nobis Domine." is from the movie, Henry V, with Kevin Branagh. In the above clip, it is offered in thanksgiving for a miraculous victory at the Battle of Agincourt.

The Latin text derives from Psalm 113:9 (according to the Vulgate numbering), which corresponds to Psalm 115:1 in the King James Version. It reads,

Latin English

Non nobis, non nobis, Domine
Sed nomini tuo da gloriam.

Not to us, not to us, o Lord,
But to your name give glory.
