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
Evangelical Heritage Version
8 And when the Lamb took the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders bowed down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp and gold bowls full of incense (these are the prayers of the saints). 9 And they sang a new song, saying:
You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals,
because you were slain,
and you bought us[a] for God with your blood
out of every tribe and language and people and nation.
10 You made them[b] to be a kingdom and priests for our God,
and they will reign on the earth.
11 And I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels who were around the throne and around the living creatures and the elders. Their number was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands upon thousands. 12 With a loud voice they were saying:
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain to receive
power and riches and
wisdom and strength and
honor and glory and blessing.
13 I also heard every creature that is in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on 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 The four living creatures said, “Amen,” and the elders bowed down and worshipped.
