Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,

“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
To receive power and riches and wisdom,
And strength and honor and glory and blessing!”
13 And (G)every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying:
(H)“Blessing and honor and glory and power
Be to Him (I)who sits on the throne,
And to the Lamb, forever and [d]ever!”
