When He had taken the scroll, the (A)four living creatures and the (B)twenty-four elders (C)fell down before the (D)Lamb, each one holding a (E)harp and (F)golden bowls full of incense, which are the (G)prayers of the [a]saints. And they *sang a (H)new song, saying,

(I)Worthy are You to take the scroll and to break its seals; for You were (J)slaughtered, and You (K)purchased people for God with Your blood from (L)every tribe, language, people, and nation.

10 You have made them into a (M)kingdom and (N)priests to our God, and they will (O)reign upon the earth.”
