19 After these things (A)I [a]heard a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, “Alleluia! (B)Salvation and glory and honor and power belong to [b]the Lord our God! 2 For (C)true and righteous are His judgments, because He has judged the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication; and He (D)has avenged on her the blood of His servants shed by her.” 3 Again they said, “Alleluia! (E)Her smoke rises up forever and ever!” 4 And (F)the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who sat on the throne, saying, (G)“Amen!

(B)“You are worthy to take the scroll,
And to open its seals;
For You were slain,
And (C)have redeemed us to God (D)by Your blood
Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,

And [c]we shall reign on the earth.”

“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
To receive power and riches and wisdom,
And strength and honor and glory and blessing!”
13 And (G)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:
(H)“Blessing and honor and glory and power
Be to Him (I)who sits on the throne,
And to the Lamb, forever and [d]ever!”
