9 When the living creatures give glory, honor, and thanks to him who sits on the throne, to him 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.
