⁵And one of the elders ^*said to me, “Stop crying! Behold, the ^aLion that is ^bfrom the tribe of Judah, the ^cRoot of David, has overcome so as to open the scroll and its seven seals.”

⁶Then I saw in the midst of the throne and the four living creatures and in the midst of ^athe elders a ^bLamb standing, as if ^cslain, having seven ^dhorns and ^eseven eyes, which are ^fthe seven Spirits of God, sent out into all the earth.

⁷And He came and took ^athe scroll out of the right hand of Him who ^bsits on the throne.

⁸And when He had taken the scroll, the ^afour living creatures and the ^btwenty-four elders ^cfell down before the ^dLamb, each one having a ^eharp and ^fgolden bowls full of incense, which are the ^gprayers of the ¹saints.

⁹And they ^*sang a ^anew song, saying,

“^bWorthy are You to take the scroll and to open its seals, because You were ^cslain and ^dpurchased for God with Your blood people from ^eevery tribe and tongue and people and nation.

¹⁰“And You made them to be a ^akingdom and ^bpriests to our God, and they will ^creign upon the earth.”

Angels Worship the Lamb

¹¹Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels ^aaround the throne and the ^bliving creatures and the ^celders; and the number of them was ^dmyriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands,

¹²saying with a loud voice,

“^aWorthy is the ^bLamb that was ^cslain to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing.”

¹³And ^aevery created thing which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all things in them, I heard saying,

“To Him who ^bsits on the throne, and to the ^cLamb, ^dbe the blessing and the honor and the glory and the might forever and ever.”

¹⁴And the ^afour living creatures kept saying, “^bAmen.” And the ^celders ^dfell down and worshiped.
