The people in heaven praise God

19 After these things, I heard a sound like the voices of a great crowd of people in heaven. They were shouting,

    ‘Praise the Lord our God!
    He has saved us!
    He is very powerful!
    We say that he is great!
Everything that he decides is right and fair.

    She murdered God's servants with her own hands.
    But now God has punished her as she deserves.’[a]
