Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory,
for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness.
Over time language tends to become increasingly abstract.
This is especially the case with religious language.
שֵׁם or shem is name, but was originally a prominent place or unchanging marker.
כָּבוֹד or kawbowd is glory, but was originally heavy, weighty, and hard.
The identity and character of God is unchanging.
God is love and faithfulness.
Psalm 115
