6. Then I looked and saw a Lamb standing in the centre of the throne that was surrounded by the four living creatures and the elders. The Lamb looked as if it had once been killed. It had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God, sent out to all the earth.
7. The Lamb went over and took the scroll from the right hand of the one who sat on the throne.
8. After he had taken it, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders knelt down before him. Each of them had a harp and a gold bowl full of incense, which are the prayers of God's people.
9. Then they sang a new song,“You are worthyto receive the scrolland open its seals,because you were killed.And with your own bloodyou bought for Godpeople from every tribe,language, nation, and race.
10. You let them become kingsand serve God as priests,and they will rule on earth.”
