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 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 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),
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Revelation 4:9
Commentary on Revelation 4:9-11
(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.
