Hi there,
As with most things biblical, there are many translations and
interpretations to be found. Fortunately, the different versions of
the Lord's Prayer I found are all very similar.
Here are some popular examples of the Lord's Prayer, followed by links
to more obscure versions:
MATTHEW 6:9-13
THE KING JAMES VERSION (1611)
Our Father which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done in earth,
as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil:
For thine is the kingdom, and the
power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
THE REVISED STANDARD VERSION (1946)
Our Father who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
kingdom come.
Thy will be done,
On earth as it is heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread; 1
And forgive us our debts,
As we also have forgiven our debtors;
And lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil.
THE KING JAMES VERSION (1611)
Luke 11:2-4
Our Father which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.
Give us day by day our daily bread.
And forgive us our sins;
for we also forgive every one
that is indebted to us.
And lead us not into temptation;
but deliver us from evil.
THE REVISED STANDARD VERSION (1946)
Father,
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Give us each day our daily bread;1
And forgive us our sins,
For we ourselves forgive every
One who is indebted to us
And lead us not into temptation.
