Psalm 31:14-18 NWT
14 But I-in you I have put my trust, O Jehovah. I have said: "You are my God." 15 My times are in your hand. Deliver me from the hand of my enemies and from those pursuing me. 16 Do cause your face to shine upon your servant. Save me in your loving-kindness. 17 O Jehovah, may I not be ashamed, for I have called on you. May the wicked ones be ashamed; May they keep silent in Sheol. 18 May false lips become speechless, That are speaking against the righteous one, unrestrainedly in haughtiness and contempt.

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
