And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
Then I heard what sounded like a massive crowd, like rushing water and rolling thunder all at once, and they were all shouting 'Hallelujah! The Lord God Almighty is on the throne!'
When God's in charge, even heaven can't keep quiet about it.
