====Content==== The [[doxology]] sometimes attached to the prayer in English is similar to a passage in [[1 Chronicles 29:11]] β "Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, O LORD, and you are exalted as head above all."<ref>{{Bibleverse|1Chron|29:11|ESV|1 Chronicles|29:11}}</ref>{{sfn|Black|2018|p=228}} It is also similar to the paean to [[Nebuchadnezzar II|King Nebuchadnezzar]] of Babylon in [[Daniel 2]]:37 β "You, O king, the king of kings, to whom the God of heaven has given the kingdom, the power, and the might, and the glory".<ref>{{Bibleverse|Dan|2:37|ESV|Daniel|2:37}}</ref>{{sfn|Black|2018|p=228}}{{sfn|Taylor|1994|p=69}} The doxology has been interpreted as connected with the final petition: "Deliver us from evil". The kingdom, the power and the glory are the Father's, not of our antagonist's, who is subject to him to whom Christ will hand over the kingdom after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power ([[1 Corinthians 15]]:24). It makes the prayer end as well as begin with the vision of God in heaven, in the majesty of his name and kingdom and the perfection of his will and purpose.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.vatican.va/archive/ccc_css/archive/catechism/p4s2a4.htm|title=Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2855}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|author=Charles Hope Robertson|title=Gathered lights; illustrating the meaning and structure of the Lord's prayer|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=rekCAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA215|year=1858|pages=214β219}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|author=Robert M.
