11 Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands, 12 saying with a loud voice:

“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
To receive power and riches and wisdom,
And strength and honor and glory and blessing!”

13 And (A)every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying:

24 (A)whom God raised up, having [a]loosed the [b]pains of death, because it was not possible that He should be held by it. 25 For David says concerning Him:

(B)‘I foresaw the Lord always before my face,
For He is at my right hand, that I may not be shaken.
26 Therefore my heart rejoiced, and my tongue was glad;
Moreover my flesh also will rest in hope.
27 For You will not leave my soul in Hades,
Nor will You allow Your Holy One to see (C)corruption.
28 You have made known to me the ways of life;
You will make me full of joy in Your presence.’

29 “Men and brethren, let me speak freely to you (D)of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. 30 Therefore, being a prophet, (E)and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his body, [c]according to the flesh, He would raise up the Christ to sit on his throne, 31 he, foreseeing this, spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ, (F)that His soul was not left in Hades, nor did His flesh see corruption. 32 (G)This Jesus God has raised up, (H)of which we are all witnesses. 33 Therefore (I)being exalted [d]to (J)the right hand of God, and (K)having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He (L)poured out this which you now see and hear.

34 “For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he says himself:

(M)‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at My right hand,
35 Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.” ’

36 “Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.”
