{When the living creatures shall give} (hotan d(9373)ousin ta
z(9361)). Indefinite temporal clause with hotan and the future
active indicative (d(9373)ousin) rather than the more common second
aorist active subjunctive (d(9373)in) with the notion of repetition
rather than unbroken continuance, "whenever they give." The
giving of praise and glory to God by the four living creatures
(representatives of nature) is met by corresponding worship by
the redeemed (the four and twenty elders). "Created life adores
the Uncreated" (Swete), "to the one living for ages of ages."
