Revelation 5:6-14

6And I saw 1between the throne (with the four living creatures) and 2the elders a 3Lamb standing, as if 4slaughtered, having seven 5horns and 6seven eyes, which are 7 8the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth. 7And He came and took 9the scroll out of the right hand of Him who 10sat on the throne. 8When He had taken the scroll, the 11four living creatures and the 12twenty-four elders 13fell down before the 14Lamb, each one holding a 15harp and 16golden bowls full of incense, which are the 17prayers of the 18saints. 9And they sang a 19new song, saying, “20Worthy are You to take the scroll and to break its seals; for You were 21slaughtered, and You 22purchased people for God with Your blood from 23every tribe, language, people, and nation. 10You have made them into a 24kingdom and 25priests to our God, and they will 26reign upon the earth.”

11Then I looked, and I heard the voices of many angels 27around the throne and the 28living creatures and the 29elders; and the number of them was 30 31myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands, 12saying with a loud voice, “32Worthy is the 33Lamb that was 34slaughtered to receive power, wealth, wisdom, might, honor, glory, and blessing.” 13And I heard 35every created thing which is in heaven, or on the earth, or under the earth, or on the sea, and all the things in them, saying, “To Him who 36sits on the throne and to the 37Lamb 38be the blessing, the honor, the glory, and the dominion forever and ever.” 14And the 39four living creatures were saying, “40Amen.” And the 41elders 42fell down and worshiped.
