⁶I saw a lamb standing in the center near the throne with the four living creatures and the leaders. The lamb looked like he had been slaughtered. He had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent all over the world. ⁷He took the scroll from the right hand of the one who sits on the throne.

⁸When the lamb had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the 24 leaders bowed in front of him. Each held a harp and a gold bowl full of incense, the prayers of God’s holy people. ⁹Then they sang a new song,

“You deserve to take the scroll and open the seals on it,

because you were slaughtered.

You bought people with your blood to be God’s own.

They are from every tribe, language, people, and nation.

¹⁰You made them a kingdom and priests for our God.

They will rule as kings on the earth.”

¹¹Then I heard the voices of many angels, the four living creatures, and the leaders surrounding the throne. They numbered ten thousand times ten thousand and thousands times thousands. ¹²In a loud voice they were singing,

“The lamb who was slain deserves to receive

power, wealth, wisdom, strength, honor, glory, and praise.”

¹³I heard every creature in heaven, on earth, under the earth, and on the sea. Every creature in those places was singing,

“To the one who sits on the throne and to the lamb

be praise, honor, glory, and power forever and ever.”

¹⁴The four living creatures said, “Amen!” Then the leaders bowed and worshiped.

Read in Logos

Revelation 5:13: And I heard every 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!”
