Revelation 4:8-11

New International Version

⁸Each of the four living creatures^(A) had six wings^(B) and was covered with eyes all around,^(C) even under its wings. Day and night^(D) they never stop saying:

“‘Holy, holy, holy

is the Lord God Almighty,’^[a]^(E)

who was, and is, and is to come.”^(F)

⁹Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne^(G) and who lives for ever and ever,^(H) ¹⁰the twenty-four elders^(I) fall down before him^(J) who sits on the throne^(K) and worship him who lives for ever and ever. They lay their crowns before the throne and say:

¹¹“You are worthy, our Lord and God,
    to receive glory and honor and power,^(L)
for you created all things,
    and by your will they were created
    and have their being.”^(M)
