Revelation 5:2-9 New International Version (NIV)

And I saw a mighty angel(A) proclaiming in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?” But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth could open the scroll or even look inside it. I wept and wept because no one was found who was worthy to open the scroll or look inside. Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! See, the Lion(B) of the tribe of Judah,(C) the Root of David,(D) has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.”

Then I saw a Lamb,(E) looking as if it had been slain, standing at the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures(F) and the elders.(G) The Lamb had seven horns and seven eyes,(H) which are the seven spirits[a](I) of God sent out into all the earth. He went and took the scroll from the right hand of him who sat on the throne.(J) And when he had taken it, the four living creatures(K) and the twenty-four elders(L) fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp(M) and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers(N) of God’s people. And they sang a new song, saying:(O)

“You are worthy(P) to take the scroll
    and to open its seals,
because you were slain,
    and with your blood(Q) you purchased(R) for God
    persons from every tribe and language and people and nation.(S)
