Revelation 5:6–14

⁶Then I saw a Lamb,^v looking as if it had been slain, standing at the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures^w and the elders.^x The Lamb had seven horns and seven eyes,^y which are the seven spirits^az of God sent out into all the earth. ⁷He went and took the scroll from the right hand of him who sat on the throne.^{a 8}And when he had taken it, the four living creatures^b and the twenty-four elders^c fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp^d and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers^e of God’s people. ⁹And they sang a new song, saying:^f

“You are worthy^g to take the scroll

and to open its seals,

because you were slain,

and with your blood^h you purchasedⁱ for God

persons from every tribe and language and people and nation.^j

¹⁰You have made them to be a kingdom and priests^k to serve our God,

and they will reign^b on the earth.”^l

¹¹Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand.^m They encircled the throne and the living creaturesⁿ and the elders.^{o 12}In a loud voice they were saying:

“Worthy is the Lamb,^p who was slain,^q

to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength

and honor and glory and praise!”^r

¹³Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth^s and on the sea, and all that is in them, saying:

“To him who sits on the throne^t and to the Lamb^u

be praise and honor and glory and power,

for ever and ever!”^v

¹⁴The four living creatures^w said, “Amen,”^x and the elders^y fell down and worshiped.^z
