9 After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no
one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the
Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm
branches in their hands. 10 And they cried out in a loud voice:
"Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to
the Lamb.”A P

and honor and power and strength be to our God for ever
and ever. Amen!"
