Psalm 96:7-8 · “You Deserve It” · JJ Hairston & Youthful Praise

NOT A QUOTE “You Deserve It” JJ Hairston & Youthful Praise Psalm 96:7-8 Sing it. It names no verse and quotes none, and the thing it says, that the glory belongs to God, is what Psalm 96:7-8 tells the nations to say. The psalm's reasons sit two verses earlier.

✓ The act the song performs is the act Psalm 96:7-8 commands, ascribing glory to God rather than describing the singer's experience of it

⚠ No reason is given inside the song for why the deserving holds. Psalm 96 gives one in verses 4 and 5, and a singer who does not know it is carrying a verdict without the evidence
