Revelation 5:8–14

Worthy is the Lamb

⁸Now when He had taken the scroll, ^mthe four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the ⁿprayers of the saints. ⁹And ^othey sang a new song, saying:

^p“You are worthy to take the scroll,

And to open its seals;

For You were slain,

And ^qhave redeemed us to God ^rby Your blood

Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,

¹⁰And have made ⁴us ^skings ⁵and ^tpriests to our God;

And ⁶we shall reign on the earth.”

¹¹Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands, ¹²saying with a loud voice:

“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain

To receive power and riches and wisdom,

And strength and honor and glory and blessing!”

¹³And ^uevery creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying:

^v“Blessing and honor and glory and power

Be to Him ^wwho sits on the throne,

And to the Lamb, forever and ⁷ever!”

¹⁴Then the four living creatures said, “Amen!” And the ⁸twenty-four elders fell down and worshiped ⁹Him who lives forever and ever.
