I'd love to see the full version of this!
This bit is left out; "And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the Evil/Wicked One; For Yours is the Kingdom and the Power, And the glory, now and forever! Amen."
Infinite love and joy! When I think of Elves saying the prayer, I imagine them wording it closer to the Aramaic version
ar alethog mi úthaes,
and lead us not into temptation,
ach ethog men o rhû pen
but deliver us from evil one.
Ni sav.
Amen.
