Believe in God in Japanese Calligraphy: 8 Hand-Brushed Designs

神を信じる kami o shinjiru Believe in God

The Japanese phrase "kami o shinjiru" meaning "Believe in God, Trust in God" is composed of the words 神 (read kami) meaning "God" and the verb 信じる (read shinjiru) meaning "trust in, believe in".

Notice that Japanese often omits the subject when it is clear. The natural interpretation of "kami o shinjiru" is "I believe in God" as well as the more general "Believe in God".
