  12. Litany from Psalm 96Developed by Gina DeMarco Northern Rhode Island Conservation District, RI • Leader: Sing to the LORD, all the earth; proclaim his salvation day after day. Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples. • Response: Sing to the LORD, all the earth; proclaim his salvation day after day!

  13. Leader: For great is the LORD and most worthy of praise; he is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the nations are idols, but the LORD made the heavens. • Response: Sing to the LORD, all the earth; proclaim his salvation day after day!

  14. Leader: Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and glory are in his sanctuary. Ascribe to the Lord, O families of nations, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength, ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name. • Response: Sing to the LORD, all the earth; proclaim his salvation day after day!

  15. Leader: Bring an offering and come before him; worship the LORD in the splendor of his holiness. Tremble before him, all the earth! The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved. He will judge the peoples with equity. • Response: Sing to the LORD, all the earth; proclaim his salvation day after day!

  16. Leader: Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad; let the sea resound, and all that is in it; let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them! • Response: Sing to the LORD, all the earth; proclaim his salvation day after day!

  17. All:Then the trees of the forest will sing, they will sing for joy before the LORD, for he comes to judge the earth.

  20. It is not so much for its beauty that the forest makes a claim upon men's hearts, as for that subtle something, that quality of air that emanates from old trees, that so wonderfully changes and renews a weary spirit. Robert Louis Stevenson
