The Lamb Is Worthy

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. 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.
