Revelation 5:8-14
New International Version
8 And when he had taken it, the four living creatures(A) and the twenty-four elders(B) fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp(C) and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers(D) of God’s people. 9 And they sang a new song, saying:(E)
“You are worthy(F) to take the scroll
and to open its seals,
because you were slain,
and with your blood(G) you purchased(H) for God
persons from every tribe and language and people and nation.(I)
10 You have made them to be a kingdom and priests(J) to serve our God,
and they will reign[a] on the earth.”(K)
11 Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand.(L) They encircled the throne and the living creatures(M) and the elders.(N) 12 In a loud voice they were saying:
“Worthy is the Lamb,(O) who was slain,(P)
to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength
and honor and glory and praise!”(Q)
13 Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth(R) and on the sea, and all that is in them, saying:
“To him who sits on the throne(S) and to the Lamb(T)
be praise and honor and glory and power,
for ever and ever!”(U)
14 The four living creatures(V) said, “Amen,”(W) and the elders(X) fell down and worshiped.(Y)

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.
