7. The first living creature was like a lion. The second was like a calf. The third had a face like a man. The fourth was like a flying eagle.
8. Each of these four living creatures had six wings and was covered all over with eyes, inside and out. Day and night they never stop saying:“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty.He was, he is, and he is coming.”
9. These living creatures give glory, honor, and thanks to the One who sits on the throne, who lives forever and ever.
10. Then the twenty-four elders bow down before the One who sits on the throne, and they worship him who lives forever and ever. They put their crowns down before the throne and say:
11. “You are worthy, our Lord and God,to receive glory and honor and power,because you made all things.Everything existed and was made,because you wanted it.”
