Psalm 148:1-5 · “Doxology” · Reawaken Hymns

NOT A QUOTE “Doxology” Reawaken Hymns Psalm 148:1-5 Sing it. Nothing here is quoting a verse. The stanza calls the same two ranks Psalm 148 calls, below and above, then names the Trinity, which the psalm does not.

✓ Never says it is quoting: no verse is cited on the recording or on the publisher's page, so nothing is presented as scripture

⚠ The order is reversed. Psalm 148 calls the heavens first and the earth second, and that order is part of its argument, since it ends by saying His name alone is exalted above both

Psalm 148:7-10 · “All Creatures of Our God and King” · Sovereign Grace Music

NOT A QUOTE “All Creatures of Our God and King” Sovereign Grace Music Psalm 148:7-10 Sing it. Nothing here is presented as scripture. Its resemblance to Psalm 148 comes from Draper's English, which turned Francis's praise of God for creation into a call addressed to creation.

✓ Says it is nothing but a song. No verse is cited on the recording, no translation is named, and the credit line points at the poem it came from rather than at a chapter of the Bible
