Exegesis
The verse begins with kai {καί | kaí} ‘and’, linking this scene with the preceding vision and introducing the finite verb adousin {ᾄδουσιν | ái-dou-sin} ‘they sing’.
A parallel object, kai tēn ōdēn tou arniou {καὶ τὴν ᾠδὴν τοῦ ἀρνίου | kaí tḕn ō-dḕn tou ar-ní-ou}, “and the song of the Lamb,” continues the coordinate pattern and emphasizes the unity of celestial praise.
Within the quotation, Megala kai thaumasta ta erga sou {Μεγάλα καὶ θαυμαστὰ τὰ ἔργα σου | Me-gá-la kaí thau-mas-tá tà ér-ga sou} forms a verbless predicate with neuter plural adjectives as predicate complements to ta erga, implying “are.”
A second parallel clause, dikaiai kai alēthinai hai hodoi sou {δίκαιαι καὶ ἀληθιναὶ αἱ ὁδοί σου | dí-kai-ai kaí a-lē-thi-naí haí ho-doí sou}, similarly uses feminine plural predicative adjectives to describe God’s ways.
