Exegesis
The repeated preposition enōpion {ἐνώπιον | e-nṓ-pi-on} governs three genitives—tou thronou {τοῦ θρόνου | toû thró-nou}, tōn tessarōn zōōn {τῶν τεσσάρων ζῴων | tôn tes-sá-rōn zô-ōn}, and tōn presbyterōn {τῶν πρεσβυτέρων | tôn pres-by-té-rōn}—establishing a spatial sequence from the throne outward.
In context — Revelation 14:3
And they are singing as a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures, and before the elders; and no one was able to learn the song except the one hundred forty-four thousand who had been redeemed from the earth.
