[9]After this I looked, and there was a great multitude
that no one could count, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and
languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, robed in white, with
palm branches in their hands. [10]They cried out in a loud voice, saying,
"Salvation belongs to our God who is seated on the throne, and to the
Lamb!" [11]And all the angels stood around the throne and around the
elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the
throne and worshiped God, [12]singing, "Amen! Blessing and glory and
wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and
ever! Amen."
[13]Then one of the elders addressed me, saying,
"Who are these, robed in white, and where have they come from?" [14]I
said to him, "Sir, you are the one that knows." Then he said to me,
"These are they who have come out of the great ordeal; they have washed
their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. [15]For this reason
they are before the throne of God, and worship him day and night within his
temple, and the one who is seated on the throne will shelter them. [16]They
will hunger no more, and thirst no more; the sun will not strike them, nor any
scorching heat; [17]for the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their
shepherd, and he will guide them to springs of the water of life, and God will
wipe away every tear from their eyes."
