“To the one seated on the throne and to the Lamb

be praise, honor, glory, and ruling power ³  forever and ever!”

5:14 And the four living creatures were saying “Amen,” and the elders threw themselves to the ground ⁴  and worshiped.

“Amen! Praise and glory,

and wisdom and thanksgiving,

and honor and power and strength

be to our God for ever and ever. Amen!”
