1

"Hallelujah!
o Salvation and glory and power belong to our God,
2
for p his judgments are true and just;
for he has judged q the great prostitute
who corrupted the earth with her immorality,
and r has avenged on her the blood of his servants."
3
Once more they cried out,
"Hallelujah!
s The smoke from her goes up forever and ever."
4
And t the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who was seated on the throne, saying, "Amen. Hallelujah!"
5
And from the throne came a voice saying,
u "Praise our God,
all you his servants,
v you who fear him,
small and great."
