4:9 And whenever the living creatures give glory, honor, ¹  and thanks to the one who sits on the throne, who lives forever and ever, 4:10 the twenty-four elders throw themselves to the ground ²  before the one who sits on the throne and worship the one who lives forever and ever, and they offer their crowns ³  before his ⁴  throne, saying:

4:11 “You are worthy, our Lord and God,

to receive glory and honor and power,

since you created all things,

and because of your will they existed and were created!” ⁵
