← Revelation 5:8	Revelation 5:9 (KJV)	Revelation 5:10 →
And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four [and] twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.	And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;	And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
