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."

John M #1997

Infinite love and joy! When I think of Elves saying the prayer, I imagine them wording it closer to the Aramaic version

Ihironier Ethpel #3056

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.

Lírener #3469
