Worthy Is the Lamb

8 Now when He had taken the scroll, athe four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the bprayers of the saints.  
9 And athey sang a new song, saying:
b“You are worthy to take the scroll,
And to open its seals;
For You were slain,
And chave redeemed us to God dby Your blood
Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, 
10 And have made1 us akings and1 bpriests to our God;
And we shall reign on the earth.”  
11 Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands,
12 saying with a loud voice:
“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
To receive power and riches and wisdom,
And strength and honor and glory and blessing!”
13 And aevery creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying:
b“Blessing and honor and glory and power
Be to Him cwho sits on the throne,
And to the Lamb, forever and1 ever!”

Revelation 5:10

Revelation 5:9 They sung a new song. To the music of their harps. A song that could not be sung until the Lamb had taken the book. For thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred. "Didst purchase unto God with thy blood men of every tribe" (Revised Version). The Common Version ("hast redeemed us to God") is incorrect, as is now admitted by all scholars. The song does not sing of what Christ has done for those who are singing, but of what he has done for men. The singers are not of those redeemed.
