Rejoicing in Heaven

19 After this I heard (A)what seemed to be the loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, crying out,

“Hallelujah!
(B)Salvation and glory and power belong to our God,
    for (C)his judgments are true and just;
for he has judged (D)the great prostitute
    who corrupted the earth with her immorality,
and (E)has avenged on her the blood of his servants.”

Once more they cried out,

“Hallelujah!
(F)The smoke from her goes up forever and ever.”

And (G)the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who was seated on the throne, saying, “Amen. Hallelujah!” And from the throne came a voice saying,

(H)“Praise our God,
    all you his servants,
(I)you who fear him,
    small and great.”

The Vision of Worship

19 After these things, I heard what sounded like the loud voice of a large crowd in heaven, saying,

“Hallelujah!
    Salvation, glory, and power belong to our God.
His judgments are true and just.
    He has condemned the notorious prostitute
        who corrupted the world with her immorality.
He has taken revenge on her
    for the blood of his servants.”

A second time they said,

“Hallelujah!
    The smoke goes up from her forever and ever.”

The twenty-four elders and the four living creatures bowed down and worshipped God, who was sitting on the throne. They said, “Amen! Hallelujah!” A voice came from the throne, saying,

“Praise our God,
    all who serve and fear him,
from the least important
    to the most important.”
