And I saw [a]between the throne (with the four living creatures) and (A)the elders a (B)Lamb standing, as if (C)slaughtered, having seven (D)horns and (E)seven eyes, which are [b](F)the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth. And He came and took (G)the scroll out of the right hand of Him who (H)sat on the throne. When He had taken the scroll, the (I)four living creatures and the (J)twenty-four elders (K)fell down before the (L)Lamb, each one holding a (M)harp and (N)golden bowls full of incense, which are the (O)prayers of the [c]saints. And they *sang a (P)new song, saying,

(Q)Worthy are You to take the scroll and to break its seals; for You were (R)slaughtered, and You (S)purchased people for God with Your blood from (T)every tribe, language, people, and nation.

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