Revelation 5:8-14
English Standard Version
8 And when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders (A)fell down before the Lamb, (B)each holding a harp, and (C)golden bowls full of incense, (D)which are the prayers of the saints. 9 And they sang (E)a new song, saying,
“Worthy are you to take the scroll
and to open its seals,
for (F)you were slain, and by your blood (G)you ransomed people for God
from (H)every tribe and language and people and nation,
10 and you have made them (I)a kingdom and priests to our God,
and they shall reign on the earth.”
11 Then I looked, and I heard around the throne and the living creatures and the elders the voice of many angels, numbering (J)myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands, 12 saying with a loud voice,
(K)“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain,
to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might
and honor and glory and blessing!”
13 And I heard (L)every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying,
“To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb
be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever!”
14 And the four living creatures (M)said, “Amen!” and the elders (N)fell down and worshiped.

Revelation 5:8-14
Common English Bible
8 When he took the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each held a harp and gold bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. 9 They took up a new song, saying,
“You are worthy to take the scroll and open its seals,
because you were slain,
and by your blood you purchased for God
persons from every tribe, language, people, and nation.
10 You made them a kingdom and priests to our God,
and they will rule on earth.”
11 Then I looked, and I heard the sound of many angels surrounding the throne, the living creatures, and the elders. They numbered in the millions—thousands upon thousands. 12 They said in a loud voice,
“Worthy is the slaughtered Lamb
to receive power, wealth, wisdom, and might,
and honor, glory, and blessing.”
13 And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea—I heard everything everywhere say,
“Blessing, honor, glory, and power
belong to the one seated on the throne
and to the Lamb
forever and always.”
14 Then the four living creatures said, “Amen,” and the elders fell down and worshipped.
