Revelation 5:8-14
New American Standard Bible
8 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 holding 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 break its seals; for You were (J)slaughtered, and You (K)purchased people for God with Your blood from (L)every tribe, language, people, and nation.
10 You have made them into 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 voices of many angels (P)around the throne and the (Q)living creatures and the (R)elders; and the number of them was [b](S)myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands, 12 saying with a loud voice,
“(T)Worthy is the (U)Lamb that was (V)slaughtered to receive power, wealth, wisdom, might, honor, glory, and blessing.”
13 And I heard (W)every created thing which is in heaven, or on the earth, or under the earth, or on the sea, and all the things in them, saying,
“To Him who (X)sits on the throne and to the (Y)Lamb (Z)be the blessing, the honor, the glory, and the dominion forever and ever.”
14 And the (AA)four living creatures were saying, “(AB)Amen.” And the (AC)elders (AD)fell down and worshiped.

Revelation 5:8-14
International Standard Version
8 When the lamb had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders bowed down in front of him. Each held a harp and a gold bowl full of incense, the prayers of the saints. 9 They sang a new song:
“You are worthy to take the scroll and open its seals,
because you were slaughtered.
With your blood you purchased us[a] for God
from every tribe, language, people, and nation.
10 You made us[b] a kingdom and priests for our God,
and they will reign on the earth.”
The Vision of the Song of the Lamb
11 Then I looked, and I heard the voices of many angels, the living creatures, and the elders surrounding the throne. They numbered 10,000’s times 10,000 and thousands times thousands. 12 They sang with a loud voice,
“Worthy is the lamb who was slaughtered
to receive power, wealth, wisdom, strength, honor, glory, and praise!”
13 I heard every creature in heaven, on earth, under the earth, and on the sea, and everything that is in them, saying,
“To the one who sits on the throne and to the lamb
be praise, honor, glory, and power forever and ever!”
14 Then the four living creatures said, “Amen!”, and the elders bowed down and worshipped.
