Give Glory to God

Old Testament

Psalm 50:15

Call upon Me in the day of trouble;
I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me.

Oh, give thanks to the Lord! Call upon His name;
Make known His deeds among the peoples!

Give unto the Lord the glory due to His name;
Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.

O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever.

Blessed be the Lord,
Who daily loads us with benefits,
The God of our salvation!

We give thanks to You, O God, we give thanks!
For Your wondrous works declare that Your name is near.

It is good to give thanks to the Lord,
And to sing praises to Your name, O Most High;
To declare Your loving kindness in the morning,
And Your faithfulness every night.

Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.
For the Lord is good;
His mercy is everlasting,
And His truth endures to all generations.

Bless the Lord, O my soul;
And all that is within me, bless His holy name!
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
And forget not all His benefits.

Praise the Lord! Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good!
For His mercy endures forever.

The New Testament

And it happened when He was in a certain city, that behold, a man who was full of leprosy saw Jesus; and he fell on his face and implored Him, saying, "Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean." Then He put out His hand and touched him, saying, "I am willing; be cleansed." Immediately the leprosy left him. And He charged him to tell no one, "But go and show yourself to the priest, and make an offering for your cleansing, as a testimony to them, just as Moses commanded." However, the report went around concerning Him all the more; and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by Him of their infirmities. So He Himself often withdrew into the wilderness and prayed.

Now it happened as He went to Jerusalem that He passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. Then as He entered a certain village, there met Him ten men who were lepers, who stood afar off. And they lifted up their voices and said, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!" So when He saw them, He said to them, "Go, show yourselves to the priests." And so it was that as they went, they were cleansed. And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, returned, and with a loud voice glorified God, and fell down on his face at His feet, giving Him thanks. And he was a Samaritan. So Jesus answered and said, "Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine? Were there not any found who returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?" And He said to him, "Arise, go your way. Your faith has made you well."

The Heavenly Doctrines

To give glory to the God of heaven is to acknowledge and worship the Lord.

The meaning of “giving glory to Him,” is to live according to His commandments in the Word.

Saying, “we give You thanks, O Lord God Almighty”, symbolizes the acknowledgment that all being, living, and ability are from the Lord.
