Revelation 5:5-9
New International Version
5 Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! See, the Lion(A) of the tribe of Judah,(B) the Root of David,(C) has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.”

And (N)have redeemed us to God (O)by Your blood
Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,
