Revelation 5:8-14
Christian Standard Bible
The Lamb Is Worthy
8 When he took the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp(A) and golden bowls(B) filled with incense,(C) which are the prayers of the saints. 9 And they sang a new song:(D)
You are worthy to take the scroll
and to open its seals,
because you were slaughtered,
and you purchased[a] people[b]
for God by your blood
from every tribe and language
and people and nation.(E)
10 You made them a kingdom[c]
and priests to our God,(F)
and they will reign on the earth.
11 Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels around the throne, and also of the living creatures and of the elders. Their number was countless thousands, plus thousands of thousands.(G) 12 They said with a loud voice,
Worthy is the Lamb who was slaughtered
to receive power and riches
and wisdom and strength
and honor and glory and blessing!
13 I heard every creature in heaven, on earth, under the earth,(H) on the sea, and everything in them say,(I)
Blessing and honor and glory and power
be to the one seated on the throne,
and to the Lamb, forever and ever!
14 The four living creatures said, “Amen,” and the elders fell down and worshiped.

11 Then I looked, and I heard the voices of many angels (P)around the throne and the (Q)living creatures and the (R)elders; and the number of them was [b](S)myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands, 12 saying with a loud voice,
“(T)Worthy is the (U)Lamb that was (V)slaughtered to receive power, wealth, wisdom, might, honor, glory, and blessing.”
13 And I heard (W)every created thing which is in heaven, or on the earth, or under the earth, or on the sea, and all the things in them, saying,
“To Him who (X)sits on the throne and to the (Y)Lamb (Z)be the blessing, the honor, the glory, and the dominion forever and ever.”
14 And the (AA)four living creatures were saying, “(AB)Amen.” And the (AC)elders (AD)fell down and worshiped.

“Worthy is the Lamb,(O) who was slain,(P)

be praise and honor and glory and power,
for ever and ever!”(U)
