Dying and the end of life: prayers in Christianity
Texts from their published editions. Guidance on what this tradition does at this moment is on the occasion page, and background on the tradition is at /traditions/christian.
Texts from their published editions
Each text below was transcribed from the edition named under it and checked twice, independently, against that edition. Where the two transcriptions disagreed by even one character, the text is not shown here. That is a claim about wording only: these are not selected or endorsed for any particular situation, and nobody credentialed in the tradition has signed them. Older spelling is kept as the edition prints it.

El Padre Nuestro (Reina-Valera 1909), as it appears in the edition cited below.
Spanish · Santa Biblia, Reina-Valera, revision de 1909, 1909
Vosotros pues, oraréis así: Padre nuestro que estás en los cielos, santificado sea tu nombre.
Venga tu reino. Sea hecha tu voluntad, como en el cielo, así también en la tierra.
Danos hoy nuestro pan cotidiano.
Y perdónanos nuestras deudas, como también nosotros perdonamos á nuestros deudores.
Y no nos metas en tentación, mas líbranos del mal: porque tuyo es el reino, y el poder, y la gloria, por todos los siglos. Amén.

Le Notre Pere (Segond 1910), as it appears in the edition cited below.
French · La Sainte Bible, traduction Louis Segond, edition de 1910, 1910
Voici donc comment vous devez prier: Notre Père qui es aux cieux! Que ton nom soit sanctifié;
que ton règne vienne; que ta volonté soit faite sur la terre comme au ciel.
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!

Salmo 23 (Reina-Valera 1909), as it appears in the edition cited below.
Spanish · Santa Biblia, Reina-Valera, revision de 1909, 1909
JEHOVÁ es mi pastor; nada me faltará.
En lugares de delicados pastos me hará yacer: junto á aguas de reposo me pastoreará.
Confortará mi alma; guiaráme por sendas de justicia por amor de su nombre.
Aunque ande en valle de sombra de muerte, no temeré mal alguno; porque tú estarás conmigo: tu vara y tu cayado me infundirán aliento.
Aderezarás mesa delante de mí, en presencia de mis angustiadores: ungiste mi cabeza con aceite: mi copa está rebosando.
Ciertamente el bien y la misericordia me seguirán todos los días de mi vida: y en la casa de Jehová moraré por largos días.

Psaume 23 (Segond 1910)
Psaume 23 (Segond 1910), as it appears in the edition cited below.
French · La Sainte Bible, traduction Louis Segond, edition de 1910, 1910
Cantique de David. L'Eternel est mon berger: je ne manquerai de rien.
Il me fait reposer dans de verts pâturages, Il me dirige près des eaux paisibles.
Il restaure mon âme, Il me conduit dans les sentiers de la justice, A cause de son nom.
Quand je marche dans la vallée de l'ombre de la mort, Je ne crains aucun mal, car tu es avec moi: Ta houlette et ton bâton me rassurent.
Tu dresses devant moi une table, En face de mes adversaires; Tu oins d'huile ma tête, Et ma coupe déborde.
Oui, le bonheur et la grâce m'accompagneront Tous les jours de ma vie, Et j'habiterai dans la maison de l'Eternel Jusqu'à la fin de mes jours.

Nothing here has been signed by a reviewer credentialed in this tradition. When that happens, reviewed prayers appear above these, and these stay where they are, as an anthology. How that works.
