Revelation 7:9-17
Legacy Standard Bible
A Multitude from Every Nation
9 After these things I looked, and behold, a great [a]multitude which no one could count, from (A)every nation and all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing (B)before the throne and (C)before the Lamb, clothed in (D)white robes, and (E)palm branches were in their hands; 10 and they cry out with a loud voice, saying,
“(F)Salvation belongs to our God (G)who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.” 11 And all the angels were standing (H)around the throne and (I)the elders and the (J)four living creatures, and they (K)fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, 12 saying,
“(L)Amen, (M)the blessing and the glory and the wisdom and the thanksgiving and the honor and the power and the strength, be to our God forever and ever. (N)Amen.”
13 Then one of the elders (O)answered, saying to me, “These, clothed in the (P)white robes, who are they, and from where have they come?” 14 And I [b]said to him, “My lord, you know.” And he said to me, “These are the ones who come out of the (Q)great tribulation, and they (R)washed their robes and made them (S)white in the (T)blood of the Lamb. 15 For this reason, they are (U)before the throne of God; and they (V)serve Him day and night in His [c](W)sanctuary; and (X)He who sits on the throne will [d](Y)dwell over them. 16 (Z)They will hunger no longer, nor thirst anymore; nor will the sun [e]beat down on them, nor any heat; 17 for the Lamb at the center of the throne will (AA)shepherd them and will guide them to springs of the [f](AB)water of life. And (AC)God will wipe every tear from their eyes.”

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
The Multitude from Every Nation
9 After this I looked, and there was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, robed in white, with palm branches in their hands.(A) 10 They cried out in a loud voice, saying,
“Salvation belongs to our God who is seated on the throne and to the Lamb!”(B)
11 And all the angels stood around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, 12 singing,
“Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom
and thanksgiving and honor
and power and might
be to our God forever and ever! Amen.”(C)
13 Then one of the elders addressed me, saying, “Who are these, robed in white, and where have they come from?” 14 I said to him, “Sir, you are the one who knows.” Then he said to me, “These are they who have come out of the great ordeal; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.(D)
15 For this reason they are before the throne of God
and worship him day and night within his temple,
and the one who is seated on the throne will shelter them.(E)
16 They will hunger no more and thirst no more;
the sun will not strike them,
nor any scorching heat,(F)
17 for the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd,
and he will guide them to springs of the water of life,
and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”(G)
