Rejoicing in Heaven

19 After these things I heard something like the loud sound of a great crowd in heaven saying,

• “Hallelujah!
• Salvation and glory and power belong to our God,
  • 2 because his judgments are true and righteous,
• because he has passed judgment on the great prostitute
  • who corrupted the earth with her sexual immorality,
• and has avenged the blood of his slaves shed by[fn] her hand!”

3 And a second time they said,

• “Hallelujah!”

And her smoke goes up ⌊forever and ever⌋[fn]. 4 And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who is seated on the throne, saying,

• “Amen! Hallelujah!”

5 And a voice came out from the throne, saying,

• “Praise our God
  • all his slaves,
• and those who fear him,
  • the small and the great!”
