4. Then the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures bowed down and worshiped God, who sits on the throne. They said:“Amen, Hallelujah!”
5. Then a voice came from the throne, saying:“Praise our God, all you who serve himand all you who honor him, both small and great!”
6. Then I heard what sounded like a great many people, like the noise of flooding water, and like the noise of loud thunder. The people were saying:“Hallelujah!Our Lord God, the Almighty, rules.
