Revelation 5:8-14
Legacy Standard Bible
8 And when He had taken the scroll, the (A)four living creatures and the (B)twenty-four elders (C)fell down before the (D)Lamb, each one having a (E)harp and (F)golden bowls full of incense, which are the (G)prayers of the [a]saints. 9 And they *sang a (H)new song, saying,
“(I)Worthy are You to take the scroll and to open its seals, because You were (J)slain and (K)purchased for God with Your blood people from (L)every tribe and tongue and people and nation.
10 And You made them to be a (M)kingdom and (N)priests to our God, and they will (O)reign upon the earth.”
Angels Worship the Lamb
11 Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels (P)around the throne and the (Q)living creatures and the (R)elders; and the number of them was (S)myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands, 12 saying with a loud voice,
“(T)Worthy is the (U)Lamb that was (V)slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing.”
13 And (W)every created thing which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all things in them, I heard saying,
“To Him who (X)sits on the throne, and to the (Y)Lamb, (Z)be the blessing and the honor and the glory and the might forever and ever.”
14 And the (AA)four living creatures kept saying, “(AB)Amen.” And the (AC)elders (AD)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.
