Our father
Who dwells on the Rock
Praised be your name
Praised your decrees.
Let prevail on earth your will
As in our land.
Give us this day our daily bread.
O our father this day our daily pain.
Our father on the Rock
This is your kingdom come.
We glorify your name.
We salaam before you.
Forgive us our ingratitude.
Forgive our insatiety.
Lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from the evil of knowledge.
Herd us, too,
With the genteel strength of your muzzle
Along paths of fear
Into gardens of ignorance.
For yours is the land
The power and the glory
Forever and ever. Amen.
