I will praise you,
O LORD,
with all my heart;
I will tell of all your wonders.
I will be glad and rejoice in you;
I will sing praise to your name,
O Most High.

…and I saw a throne in heaven
and someone sitting on it.
The one sitting on the throne was as brilliant
as gemstones—
like jasper and carnelian.
And the glow of an emerald circled his throne
like a rainbow.
From the throne came flashes of lightning
and the rumble of thunder.
In front of the throne was a shiny sea of glass,
sparkling like crystal.

…This is the message from the one who is holy and true,
the one who has the key of David.
What he opens, no one can close;
and what he closes,
no one can open:
I know all the things you do,
and I have opened a door for you that no one can close.
You have little strength,
yet you obeyed my word and did not deny me.
