Version of the Lord’s Prayer in Wayne West’s Black Mass, 1970:

Urged by Satan’s bidding and schooled by his ordinance, we make bold to say:

Our father, which art in Hell, glory to thy name. Thy kingdom is come. Thy will is done, on Earth as it is in thy Infernal realm. Grant us this day the bounties of thy kingdom, and give us our trespasses lest others trespass against us, and lead us into temptation. But deliver us not from evil. Deliver us, we pray thee, Lord Satan, unto every evil, past, present, and yet to come; and at the intercessions of all the Daemons of the Pit, and of Pan and Ishtar, be pleased to grant us fulfillment of all our desires; so that with the manifold blessing of thy compassion, we may be ever free to sin.

Version of the Lord’s Prayer in Anton LaVey’s Black Mass, 1972:

Prompted by the precepts of the earth and the inclinations of the flesh, we make bold to say:

Our Father which art in Hell, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom is come, Thy will is done; on earth as it is in Hell! We take this night our rightful due, and trespass not on paths of pain. Lead us unto temptation, and deliver us from false piety, for Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever!

Version of the Lord’s Prayer in Aubrey Melech’s Black Mass, 1986:

Let us pray. Taught by infernal example we may presume to say:

Our Father, Who art in Hell, Hallowed be Thy Name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in Hell; Give us this day our daily light; Send forth Thy spirit and renew the face of the earth; Deliver us unto luxury; Deliver us unto the plenteousness of Thy house; Let us walk as in the day; Eat fat meats and drink sweet wines; Let us fornicate; And, that our hearts may be prepared for it, Inflame them with the fire of Thy love, Lord Satan.

Original Latin Version of the Lord’s Prayer in Aubrey Melech’s Black Mass, 1986:

Oremus. Infera institutione formati, audemus dicere:

Pater Noster, Qui es in Inferis, Sanctificetur nomen Tuum; Adveniat regnum Tuum; Fiat voluntas Tua, sicut in Infero et in Terra; Lucem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie; Emitte spiritum Tuum et renovabis faciem terrae; Libera nos ad luxuria; Libera nos ad ubertate domus Tuae; Sicut in die ambulemus; Comedite pinguia et bibite mulsum; Fornicemur; Adquae ut ferventius corda nostra praeparentur, Flammis adure Tuae caritatis, Domine Satanus.

Lord’s Prayer recited backwards in Coven’s 1969 Black Mass:

Let us pray. Urged by our Lord Satan’s bidding, and schooled by his infernal ordinance, we make bold to say:

Amen . . . Evil from us deliver but . . . Temptation into not us lead and . . . Us against trespass who those forgive we as . . . Trespasses our us forgive and . . . Bread daily our day this us give . . . Heaven in is it as earth on . . . Done be will thy . . . Come kingdom thy . . . Name thy be hallowed . . . Heaven in art who . . . Father our.
