Revelation 5:6-13 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

6. Then I saw One like a slaughtered lamb standing between the throne and the four living creatures and among the elders. He had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent into all the earth.

7. He came and took the scroll out of the right hand of the One seated on the throne.

8. When He took the scroll, the four living creatures and the 24 elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp and gold bowls filled with incense, which are the prayers of the saints.

9. And they sang a new song: You are worthy to take the scrolland to open its seals,because You were slaughtered,and You redeemed people for God by Your bloodfrom every tribe and languageand people and nation.

10. You made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they will reign on the earth.

11. Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels around the throne, and also of the living creatures and of the elders. Their number was countless thousands, plus thousands of thousands.

12. They said with a loud voice:The Lamb who was slaughtered is worthyto receive power and richesand wisdom and strengthand honor and glory and blessing!

13. I heard every creature in heaven, on earth, under the earth, on the sea, and everything in them say: Blessing and honor and glory and dominionto the One seated on the throne,and to the Lamb, forever and ever!
