Revelation 5:6-14
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
6 Then I saw between the throne and the four living creatures and among the elders a Lamb standing as if it had been slaughtered, with seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth.(A) 7 He went and took the scroll from the right hand of the one who was seated on the throne. 8 When he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell before the Lamb, each holding a harp and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.(B) 9 They sing a new song:
“You are worthy to take the scroll
and to break its seals,
for you were slaughtered and by your blood you ransomed for God
saints from[a] every tribe and language and people and nation;(C)
10 you have made them a kingdom and priests serving[b] our God,
and they will reign[c] on earth.”(D)
11 Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels surrounding the throne and the living creatures and the elders; they numbered myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands,(E) 12 singing with full voice,
“Worthy is the Lamb that was slaughtered
to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might
and honor and glory and blessing!”
13 Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea and all that is in them, singing,
“To the one seated on the throne and to the Lamb
be blessing and honor and glory and might
forever and ever!”(F)
14 And the four living creatures said, “Amen!” And the elders fell down and worshiped.

New International Version
6 Then I saw a Lamb,(A) looking as if it had been slain, standing at the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures(B) and the elders.(C) The Lamb had seven horns and seven eyes,(D) which are the seven spirits[a](E) of God sent out into all the earth. 7 He went and took the scroll from the right hand of him who sat on the throne.(F) 8 And when he had taken it, the four living creatures(G) and the twenty-four elders(H) fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp(I) and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers(J) of God’s people. 9 And they sang a new song, saying:(K)
“You are worthy(L) to take the scroll
and to open its seals,
because you were slain,
and with your blood(M) you purchased(N) for God
persons from every tribe and language and people and nation.(O)
10 You have made them to be a kingdom and priests(P) to serve our God,
and they will reign[b] on the earth.”(Q)
11 Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand.(R) They encircled the throne and the living creatures(S) and the elders.(T) 12 In a loud voice they were saying:
“Worthy is the Lamb,(U) who was slain,(V)
to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength
and honor and glory and praise!”(W)
13 Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth(X) and on the sea, and all that is in them, saying:
“To him who sits on the throne(Y) and to the Lamb(Z)
be praise and honor and glory and power,
for ever and ever!”(AA)
14 The four living creatures(AB) said, “Amen,”(AC) and the elders(AD) fell down and worshiped.(AE)
