Revelation 4:11 NLT

> “You are worthy, O **Lord our God**, to receive glory and honor and power.
> For you created all things, and they exist because you created what
> you pleased.”

Revelation 4:11 Douay-Rheims Bible

> Thou art worthy, O **Lord our God**, to receive glory, and honour, and
> power: because thou hast created all things; and for thy will they
> were, and have been created.

Revelation 4:11 NAB

> “Worthy are you, **Lord our God**, to receive glory and honor and
> power, for you created all things; because of your will they came to
> be and were created.”

By translating it this way, the proclamation which includes the responsibility for creation is ascribed to God the Father and not the Lord Jesus Christ.

This detail is critical because the passage attributes the act of creation to whichever being is described in the proclamation.

The NWT identifies *kyrios* as the Tetragrammaton, and renders Revelation 4:11 thus:

> “You are worthy, **Jehovah our God**, to receive the glory and the honor
> and the power, because you created all things, and because of your
> will they came into existence and were created.”

However in most other translations, Revelation 4:11 is rendered as "our Lord and God", which instead ascribes the proclamation to the Lord Jesus Christ and applies the act of creation to him and even identifies him as God.

Revelation 1:8, 4:8, 11:17, 15:3, 16:7, 19:6, and 21:22 all share the similar title of "*kyrios ho theos*"; YHWH God Almighty.
