Revelation 5:5-13

New International Version

⁵Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! See, the Lion^(A) of the tribe of Judah,^(B) the Root of David,^(C) has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.”

⁶Then I saw a Lamb,^(D) looking as if it had been slain, standing at the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures^(E) and the elders.^(F) The Lamb had seven horns and seven eyes,^(G) which are the seven spirits^[a]^(H) of God sent out into all the earth. ⁷He went and took the scroll from the right hand of him who sat on the throne.^(I) ⁸And when he had taken it, the four living creatures^(J) and the twenty-four elders^(K) fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp^(L) and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers^(M) of God’s people. ⁹And they sang a new song, saying:^(N)

“You are worthy^(O) to take the scroll
    and to open its seals,
because you were slain,
    and with your blood^(P) you purchased^(Q) for God
    persons from every tribe and language and people and nation.^(R)
¹⁰You have made them to be a kingdom and priests^(S) to serve our God,
    and they will reign^[b] on the earth.”^(T)

¹¹Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand.^(U) They encircled the throne and the living creatures^(V) and the elders.^(W) ¹²In a loud voice they were saying:

“Worthy is the Lamb,^(X) who was slain,^(Y)
to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength
and honor and glory and praise!”^(Z)

¹³Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth^(AA) and on the sea, and all that is in them, saying:

“To him who sits on the throne^(AB) and to the Lamb^(AC)
be praise and honor and glory and power,
for ever and ever!”^(AD)
