The best organization for this sevenfold acclamation is to recognize two word pairs, “praise”/“thanksgiving” and “glory”/“honor.” This leads to a 3–4 construction, with each of the two sections beginning with an acclamation of praise. Therefore this list begins with ἡ εὐλογία (hē eulogia, praise; only in 5:12, 13, and here) as the natural response of the angels to the joy of seeing God deliver the saints. In 1 Pet. 1:12 we are told that the angels are intensely interested in God’s salvific plan for his people and “long to look” into it. When they see our salvation come to fruition and the victory finalized, they will naturally erupt with “praise.”
