Peace: 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 comes from the edition named under it and was checked twice, independently, before it appeared. Neither check was a person. Where the two 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. The full record, including the texts we held back because the two transcriptions disagreed, is at the verification record.

El Padre Nuestro (Reina-Valera 1909)

El Padre Nuestro (Reina-Valera 1909), as it appears in the edition cited below.

Spanish · Santa Biblia, Reina-Valera, revision de 1909, 1909Read twice, independently

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, 1910Read twice, independently

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 91 (Reina-Valera 1909)

Salmo 91 (Reina-Valera 1909), as it appears in the edition cited below.

Spanish · Santa Biblia, Reina-Valera, revision de 1909, 1909Read twice, independently

EL que habita al abrigo del Altísimo, morará bajo la sombra del Omnipotente.

Diré yo á Jehová: Esperanza mía, y castillo mío; mi Dios, en él confiaré.

Y él te librará del lazo del cazador: de la peste destruidora.

Con sus plumas te cubrirá, y debajo de sus alas estarás seguro: escudo y adarga es su verdad.

No tendrás temor de espanto nocturno, ni de saeta que vuele de día;

Ni de pestilencia que ande en oscuridad, ni de mortandad que en medio del día destruya.

Caerán á tu lado mil, y diez mil á tu diestra: mas á ti no llegará.

Ciertamente con tus ojos mirarás, y verás la recompensa de los impíos.

Porque tú has puesto á Jehová, que es mi esperanza, al Altísimo por tu habitación,

No te sobrevendrá mal, ni plaga tocará tu morada.

Pues que á sus ángeles mandará acerca de ti, que te guarden en todos tus caminos.

En las manos te llevarán, porque tu pie no tropiece en piedra.

Sobre el león y el basilisco pisarás; hollarás al cachorro del león y al dragón.

Por cuanto en mí ha puesto su voluntad, yo también lo libraré: pondrélo en alto, por cuanto ha conocido mi nombre.

Me invocará, y yo le responderé: con él estaré yo en la angustia: lo libraré, y le glorificaré.

Saciarélo de larga vida, y mostraréle mi salud.

Content last changed 6 October 2026. Dates come from this page’s own revision history, not from the last time the site was deployed.

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.
