The Ancient Motto.
The Grand Encampment has adopted this reading of the Motto of the ancient Templars:
"Non nobis Domine; non nobis, sed Nomini tuo da gloriam"."
In the "Biblia Sacra," published in Antwerp in 1605, we find this reading of it:
"Non nobis Domine, non nobis: sed Nomini tuo da gloriam"."
These words are found in the "Biblia Sacra" as part of Psalm cxiii, verse 31. In the Accepted Version they form part of Psalm cxv: 1. It is probable that the omission of the comma after the second "nobis", page 79, St. Louis Ritual, was a typographical blunder. As that Ritual no longer exists, the official reading adopted for the Grand Standard remains in force.
