Every text below was transcribed from the edition named under it and checked twice, independently, against that edition. That is a claim about wording only: nothing here is selected or endorsed for a particular situation, and nobody credentialed in the tradition has signed it. Older spelling is kept as the edition prints it.

English · The Douay-Rheims Bible, 1899 American Edition, 1899

Thus therefore shall you pray: Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Donne-nous aujourd'hui notre pain quotidien;

pardonne-nous nos offenses, comme nous aussi nous pardonnons à ceux qui nous ont offensés;

ne nous induis pas en tentation, mais délivre-nous du malin. Car c'est à toi qu'appartiennent, dans tous les siècles, le règne, la puissance et la gloire. Amen!
