Exegesis
The closing phrase hoi mikroi kai hoi megaloi {οἱ μικροὶ καὶ οἱ μεγάλοι | hoi mi-kroí kaí hoi me-gá-loi} “the small and the great” is a merism, expressing the totality of those summoned regardless of status. The English renderings preserve the imperative force (“praise” / “give praise”), keep the vocative sense by addressing “all His servants” and “all who honor Him,” and maintain the climactic inclusiveness of “small” and “great.”
In context — Revelation 19:5
And a voice came out from the throne, saying: “Praise our God , all His servants , and those who fear Him, the small and the great.”
