Verse 9 is found in chapter 4 of Revelation. Whenever the living creatures glorify God, the twenty-four elders fall down and cast their crowns before the throne. The gesture represents recognition that all authority ultimately comes from God. The hymn does not celebrate human power, but the worthiness of the Creator as the source of all things. The affirmation that all things were created by his will places existence itself within a perspective of divine dependence and purpose.

Und da die Tiere gaben Preis und Ehre und Dank dem, der da auf dem Stuhl saß, der da lebt von Ewigkeit zu Ewigkeit,
Y cuando aquellos animales daban gloria y honra y alabanza al que estaba sentado en el trono, al que vive para siempre jamás,
Cada vez que los seres vivientes den gloria, honor y acción de gracias al que está sentado en el trono, al que vive por los siglos de los siglos,
Quand les êtres vivants rendent gloire et honneur et actions de grâces à celui qui est assis sur le trône, à celui qui vit aux siècles des siècles,
E quando gli animali rendevano gloria, ed onore, e grazie, a colui che sedeva in sul trono, a colui che vive nei secoli de’ secoli;
E, quando os animais davam glória, e honra, e ações de graças ao que estava assentado sobre o trono, ao que vive para todo o sempre,
每逢四活物將榮耀、尊貴、感謝歸給那坐在寶座上、活到永永遠遠者的時候,
