“You are worthy to take the scroll
and to open its seals
because you were killed, 5
and at the cost of your own blood 6 you have purchased 7 for God
persons 8 from every tribe, language, 9 people, and nation.
5:10 You have appointed 10 them 11 as a kingdom and priests 12 to serve 13 our God, and they will reign 14 on the earth.”
5:11 Then 15 I looked and heard the voice of many angels in a circle around the throne, as well as the living creatures and the elders. Their 16 number was ten thousand times ten thousand 17 – thousands times thousands – 5:12 all of whom 18 were singing 19 in a loud voice:
“Worthy is the lamb who was killed 20
to receive power and wealth
and wisdom and might
and honor and glory and praise!”
5:13 Then 21 I heard every creature – in heaven, on earth, under the earth, in the sea, and all that is in them – singing: 22
“To the one seated on the throne and to the Lamb
be praise, honor, glory, and ruling power 23 forever and ever!”
