Exegesis
The paired acclamations Amēn {Ἀμήν | Amḗn} and Allēlouia {Ἁλληλουϊά | Hallēlouïá} form a compact liturgical response, affirming the truth of God’s judgments and offering concentrated praise. In translation, the coordinated structure is preserved by retaining the sequence of subjects and verbs, while rendering the participial description of God as a relative clause (“who is seated on the throne”) to maintain natural English flow and the sense of royal enthronement.
In context — Revelation 19:4
And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who is seated on the throne, saying, “Amen, Hallelujah !”
