Revelation 5:8-14
New American Standard Bible 1995
8 When He had taken the [a]book, the (A)four living creatures and the (B)twenty-four elders (C)fell down before the (D)Lamb, each one holding a (E)harp and (F)golden bowls full of incense, which are the (G)prayers of the [b]saints. 9 And they *sang a (H)new song, saying,
“(I)Worthy are You to take the [c]book and to break its seals; for You were (J)slain, and (K)purchased for God with Your blood men from (L)every tribe and tongue and people and nation.
10 “You have made them to be a (M)kingdom and (N)priests to our God; and they will (O)reign upon the earth.”
Angels Exalt 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 might 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 blessing and honor and glory and dominion forever and ever.”
14 And the (AA)four living creatures kept saying, “(AB)Amen.” And the (AC)elders (AD)fell down and worshiped.
