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.

The Lamb Is Worthy
8 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. 9 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.
11 Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels around the throne, and also of the living creatures and of the elders. Their number was countless thousands, plus thousands of thousands.(G) 12 They said with a loud voice,
Worthy is the Lamb who was slaughtered
to receive power and riches
and wisdom and strength
and honor and glory and blessing!
13 I heard every creature in heaven, on earth, under the earth,(H) on the sea, and everything in them say,(I)
Blessing and honor and glory and power
be to the one seated on the throne,
and to the Lamb, forever and ever!
14 The four living creatures said, “Amen,” and the elders fell down and worshiped.
