A Great Multitude from Every Nation

⁹ After this I looked, and behold, ^(A)a great multitude that no one could number, ^(B)from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, ^(C)clothed in white robes, with ^(D)palm branches in their hands, ¹⁰ and crying out with a loud voice, ^(E)“Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” ¹¹ And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and ^(F)the four living creatures, and they ^(G)fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, ^12 (H)saying, “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever! Amen.”

⁹ And they sang ^(A)a new song, saying,

⁹ and in order ^(A)that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written,

¹⁰ And again it is said,

¹¹ And again,

¹⁸ “For I know^[a] their works and their thoughts, and the time is coming^{[b] (A)}to gather all nations and tongues. And they shall come and shall see my glory, ¹⁹ and I will set a sign among them. And from them ^(B)I will send survivors to the nations, to ^(C)Tarshish, ^(D)Pul, and ^(E)Lud, who draw the bow, to ^(F)Tubal and ^(G)Javan, ^(H)to the coastlands far away, ^(I)that have not heard my fame or seen my glory. And they shall declare my glory among the nations.
