9. They sang a new hymn:“Worthy are you to receive the scrolland to break open its seals,for you were slain and with your blood you purchased for Godthose from every tribe and tongue, people and nation.
10. You made them a kingdom and priests for our God,and they will reign on earth.”
11. I looked again and heard the voices of many angels who surrounded the throne and the living creatures and the elders. They were countless in number,

13. Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, everything in the universe, cry out:“To the one who sits on the throne and to the Lambbe blessing and honor, glory and might,forever and ever.”
14. The four living creatures answered, “Amen,” and the elders fell down and worshiped.
