16 And the four and twenty ancients, who sit on their seats in the sight of God, fell on their faces and adored God, saying:

17 We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, who art, and who wast, and who art to come: because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and thou hast reigned.

18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest render reward to thy servants the prophets and the saints, and to them that fear thy name, little and great, and shouldest destroy them who have corrupted the earth.

    the One who is and who was,(E)
because you have taken your great power
    and have begun to reign.(F)
18 The nations were angry,(G)
    and your wrath has come.

    and for rewarding your servants the prophets(I)
and your people who revere your name,
    both great and small(J)
and for destroying those who destroy the earth.”
