There are several different English translations of the Lord's Prayer from Greek or Latin, beginning around AD 650 with the [[Northumbrian (Anglo-Saxon)|Northumbrian]] translation. Of those in current liturgical use, the three best-known are:
* The translation in the [[Book of Common Prayer (1662)|1662 ''Book of Common Prayer'']] (BCP) of the [[Church of England]]
* The slightly modernized "traditional ecumenical" form used in the Catholic,<ref>Francis Xavier Weninger. ''[https://books.google.com/books?id=ExFFAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA147 A Manual of the Catholic Religion, for Catechists, Teachers, and Self-instruction]''. John P. Walsh; 1867. p. 146–147.</ref> and (often with [[doxology]]) in many Protestant Churches<ref>1928 version of the Prayer Book of the [[Episcopal Church (United States)]]</ref>
* The 1988 translation of the [[ecumenical]] [[English Language Liturgical Consultation]] (ELLC)
All these versions are based on the text in Matthew, rather than Luke, of the prayer given by Jesus.

{{poemquote|
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 trespasses,
as we forgive them that trespass against us;
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil;
For thine is the kingdom,
the power, and the glory,
For ever and ever.
Amen.|[[Book of Common Prayer (1662)|BCP (1662)]]<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.churchofengland.org/prayer-and-worship/worship-texts-and-resources/book-common-prayer/order-morning-prayer|title=The Order for Morning Prayer|publisher=The Church of England's website|access-date=29 September 2020}}</ref>}}

For thine is the kingdom,

Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,

The concluding [[doxology]] ("For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory for ever") is representative of the practice of concluding prayers with a short, hymn-like verse that exalts the glory of God. Older English translations of the Bible, based on late Byzantine Greek manuscripts, included it, but it is absent in the oldest manuscripts and is not considered to be part of the original text of [[Matthew 6:9]]–[[Matthew 6:13|13]].<ref>{{Bibleverse|Matthew|6:9–13}}</ref> The translators of the 1611 [[King James Version|King James Bible]] assumed that a Greek manuscript they possessed was ancient and therefore adopted the text into the Lord's Prayer of the Gospel of Matthew. The use of the doxology in English dates from at least 1549 with the [[First Prayer Book of Edward VI]] which was influenced by [[William Tyndale]]'s New Testament translation in 1526.

In the [[Byzantine Rite]], whenever a priest is officiating, after the Lord's Prayer he intones this augmented form of the doxology, "For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory: of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto ages of ages.",{{efn|In Greek: {{lang|grc|Ὅτι σοῦ ἐστὶν ἡ βασιλεία καὶ ἡ δύναμις καὶ ἡ δόξα· τοῦ Πατρὸς καὶ τοῦ Υἱοῦ καὶ τοῦ Ἁγίου Πνεύματος· νῦν καὶ ἀεὶ καὶ εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων.}}}} and in either instance, reciter(s) of the prayer reply "Amen".

The Catholic [[Latin liturgical rites]] have never attached the doxology to the end of the Lord's Prayer. The doxology does appear in the [[Roman Rite]] [[Mass (liturgy)|Mass]] as revised in 1969. After the conclusion of the Lord's Prayer, the priest says a prayer known as the [[Embolism (liturgy)|embolism]]. In the official [[International Commission on English in the Liturgy]] (ICEL) English translation, the embolism reads: "Deliver us, Lord, we pray, from every evil, graciously grant peace in our days, that, by the help of your mercy, we may be always free from sin and safe from all distress, as we await the blessed hope and the coming of our Saviour, Jesus Christ." This elaborates on the final petition, "Deliver us from evil." The people then respond to this with the doxology: "For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours, now and forever."{{citation needed|date=January 2023}}
