9 And when the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him who sits on the throne , to Him who lives forever and ever , 10 the twenty-four e elders will fall down before Him who sits on the throne , and will worship Him who lives forever and ever , and will cast their crowns before the throne , saying , 11 " Worthy are You, our Lord and our God , to receive glory and honor and power ; for You created all things , and because of Your will they existed , and were created ."
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Revelation 4:9-11
Commentary on Revelation 4:9-11
(Read Revelation 4:9-11)
All true believers wholly ascribe their redemption and conversion, their present privileges and future hopes, to the eternal and most holy God. Thus rise the for-ever harmonious, thankful songs of the redeemed in heaven. Would we on earth do like them, let our praises be constant, not interrupted; united, not divided; thankful, not cold and formal; humble, not self-confident.
