What Does the Lord's Prayer Say?

 The Lord's Prayer, recorded at Matthew 6:9-13, is worded differently in various Bible translations. Here are two examples.

New World Translation: "Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified. Let your Kingdom come. Let your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our bread for this day; and forgive our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And do not bring us into temptation, but deliver us from the wicked one." 

King James Version: "Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed by 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."
