16 And the twenty-four elders (A)who sit on their thrones before God (B)fell on their faces and worshiped God, 17 saying,

“We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty,
    (C)who is and who was,
for you have taken your great power
    and (D)begun to reign.
18 The nations raged,
    but (E)your wrath came,
    and (F)the time for the dead to be judged,
and for rewarding your servants, the prophets and saints,
    and (G)those who fear your name,
    both small and great,
and (H)for destroying the destroyers of the earth.”
