1 After this, I heard what sounded like a vast crowd in heaven shouting,“Praise the lord!Salvation and glory and power belong to our God.
2 His judgments are true and just.He has punished the great prostitutewho corrupted the earth with her immorality.He has avenged the murder of his servants.”
3 And again their voices rang out:“Praise the lord!The smoke from that city ascends forever and ever!”
4 Then the twenty-four elders and the four living beings fell down and worshiped God, who was sitting on the throne. They cried out, “Amen! Praise the lord!”
5 And from the throne came a voice that said,“Praise our God,all his servants,all who fear him,from the least to the greatest.”
6 Then I heard again what sounded like the shout of a vast crowd or the roar of mighty ocean waves or the crash of loud thunder:“Praise the lord!For the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigns.
