And when it took the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell before the Lamb, having each a harp and golden bowls full of incenses, which are the prayers of the saints.

And they sing a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open its seals; because thou hast been slain, and hast redeemed to God, by thy blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation,

He went and took the scroll from the right hand of him who sat on the throne.(A) And when he had taken it, the four living creatures(B) and the twenty-four elders(C) fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp(D) and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers(E) of God’s people. And they sang a new song, saying:(F)

“You are worthy(G) to take the scroll
    and to open its seals,
because you were slain,
    and with your blood(H) you purchased(I) for God
    persons from every tribe and language and people and nation.(J)
10 You have made them to be a kingdom and priests(K) to serve our God,
    and they will reign[a] on the earth.”(L)
