Revelation of John 5:8-14

8 And when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders ^kfell down before the Lamb, ^leach holding a harp, and ^mgolden bowls full of incense, ⁿwhich are the prayers of the saints. 9 And they sang ^oa new song, saying,

“Worthy are you to take the scroll
and to open its seals,
for ^pyou were slain, and by your blood ^qyou ransomed people for God
from ^revery tribe and language and people and nation,
10 and you have made them ^sa kingdom and priests to our God,
and they shall reign on the earth.”
11 Then I looked, and I heard around the throne and the living creatures and the elders the voice of many angels, numbering ^tmyriads of myriads and thousands of thousands, 12 saying with a loud voice,

^u“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain,
to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might
and honor and glory and blessing!”
13 And I heard ^vevery creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying,

“To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb
be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever!”
14 And the four living creatures ^wsaid, “Amen!” and the elders ^xfell down and worshiped.
