The Lord's Prayer: Didst He But Copy What the Hebrews Hath Writ?



Hear that prayer of Jesus of Nazareth?
That prayer doth teach us to undo that prayer.
The Godpods have been beguiled
with a counterfeit.

What sum He owes the Hebrews.
Forsooth, such a man might be a copy.
Thank the Hebrews
for teaching Jesus of Nazareth His words.


O Lord, Thou art Our Father
--Isaiah 64:8

Neither shall ye profane
My Holy Name
I will be Hallowed
--Leviticus 22:32

Thy will be done in Heaven
so on earth.
--Prayer of Tannaiam

Feed me my allotted bread.
--Proverbs 30:8

Forgive someone
who has wronged you
and you will be
forgiven.
--Sirach 28:1-5

Take away all iniquity
--Hosea 14:2
Deliver me from
the workers of iniquity
--Psalms 59:2
Our Father,
who art in Heaven

Hallowed be thy Name


Thy Kingdom come
Thy will be done
on earth
as it is in Heaven

Give us the day
our daily bread

and forgive us our debts
as we have also
forgiven our debtors


And lead us not
into temptation
but deliver us
from evil.
