Revelation 5:8-14
8When He had taken the 1book, the 2four living creatures and the 3twenty-four elders 4fell down before the 5Lamb, each one holding a 6harp and 7golden bowls full of incense, which are the 8prayers of the 9saints. 9And they sang a 10new song, saying, “11Worthy are You to take the 12book and to break its seals; for You were 13slain, and 14purchased for God with Your blood men from 15every tribe and tongue and people and nation. 10You have made them to be a 16kingdom and 17priests to our God; and they will 18reign upon the earth.”
11Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels 19around the throne and the 20living creatures and the 21elders; and the number of them was 22myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands, 12saying with a loud voice, “23Worthy is the 24Lamb that was 25slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing.” 13And 26every 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 27sits on the throne, and to the 28Lamb, 29be blessing and honor and glory and dominion forever and ever.” 14And the 30four living creatures kept saying, “31Amen.” And the 32elders 33fell down and worshiped.
