Rev.
5:11 Then I looked, and I heard the
voice of many angels around the throne and the living creatures and the elders;
and the number of them was myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands, 12 saying with a loud voice,
“Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and
riches and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing.”
13 And every created thing
which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all
things in them, I heard saying,
“To Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, be
blessing and honor and glory and dominion forever and ever.”
14 And the four living
creatures kept saying, “Amen.” And the elders fell down and worshiped.

4-5:
Yahweh, Adonai,
LORD God, the Almighty, Ancient of Days, Eternal God, Creator, the One Who was
and Who is and Who is to come, Mighty King on the throne attended by many
angels, myriads of myriads, thousands of thousands. You made the heaven and the
earth and sea and springs of water, and all that is within them. You created
all things, and because of Your will, they existed and were created. Every
created thing will bow to You, and every tongue shall give praise to You. Abba,
Father, You are Spirit, and those who worship You must worship in spirit and
truth. You are seeking such worshipers who will worship You in spirit and
truth. May grace and peace be multiplied to many in the knowledge of You and of
Jesus our Lord. May You anoint the lips of Your worshipers with Spirit-filled
praise that You may be magnified in song and thanksgiving. To You, Father, and
to Jesus Messiah, Son of God, Son of Man, Lamb of God, Lion of Judah, Slain
Savior and Risen Lord, be blessing, honor, glory, and dominion, forever and
ever. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
