9 Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne and who lives for ever and ever,
9 And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever,
9 And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him who is seated on the throne, who lives forever and ever,
9 Every time the Animals gave glory and honor and thanks to the One Seated on the Throne - the age-after-age Living One -
9 Whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him who sits on the throne, who lives forever and ever,
9 Whenever the living beings give glory and honor and thanks to the one sitting on the throne (the one who lives forever and ever),
11 "You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being."
11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
11 "Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created."
11 Worthy, O Master! Yes, our God! Take the glory! the honor! the power! You created it all; It was created because you wanted it.
11 "You are worthy, O Lord, To receive glory and honor and power; For You created all things, And by Your will they exist and were created."
11 "You are worthy, OÂ Lord our God, to receive glory and honor and power. For you created all things, and they exist because you created what you pleased."
(Read Revelation 4:9-11)
All true believers wholly ascribe their redemption and conversion, their present privileges and future hopes, to the eternal and most holy God. Thus rise the for-ever harmonious, thankful songs of the redeemed in heaven. Would we on earth do like them, let our praises be constant, not interrupted; united, not divided; thankful, not cold and formal; humble, not self-confident.
