And they sang a new song, saying:(A)

“You are worthy(B) to take the scroll
    and to open its seals,
because you were slain,
    and with your blood(C) you purchased(D) for God
    persons from every tribe and language and people and nation.(E)
10 You have made them to be a kingdom and priests(F) to serve our God,
    and they will reign[a] on the earth.”(G)

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

“Worthy is the Lamb,(K) who was slain,(L)
    to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength
    and honor and glory and praise!”(M)

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

“To him who sits on the throne(O) and to the Lamb(P)
    be praise and honor and glory and power,
for ever and ever!”(Q)

14 The four living creatures(R) said, “Amen,”(S) and the elders(T) fell down and worshiped.(U)

  1. Revelation 5:10 Some manuscripts they reign

And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;

10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.

11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;

12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.

13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.

14 And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.
