THE LAMB IS WORTHY

8 When he took the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harps and golden bowlst filled with incense,u which are the prayers of the saints. 9 And they sang a new song:v

You are worthy to take the scroll

and to open its seals,

because you were slaughtered,

and you purchasedE peopleF

for God by your blood

from every tribe and language

and people and nation.w

10 You made them a kingdomG

and priests to our God,x

and they will reign on the earth.
