5 And a voice came from the high seat, saying, Give praise to our God, all you his servants, small and great, in whom is the fear of him.
Kings of the earth, and all peoples; rulers and all judges of the earth: Young men and virgins; old men and children: Let them give glory to the name of the Lord: for his name only is to be praised: his kingdom is over the earth and the heaven.

Give praise to the Lord, all his works, in all places under his rule: give praise to the Lord, O my soul.
And the nations were angry, and your wrath has come, and the time for the dead to be judged, and the time of reward for your servants, the prophets, and for the saints, and for those in whom is the fear of your name, small and great, and the time of destruction for those who made the earth unclean. And the house of God which is in heaven was open; and the ark of his agreement was seen in his house, and there were flames and voices and thunders and an earth-shock and a rain of ice.
