I found my FAVORITE TRANSLATION of the Bible. What is yours?

I recently read a decent piece about various translations of the Bible. Covering such things we take for granted in all translations. Such as turns of phrases that may not equate in other languages, idioms, etc.

My interest was piqued into investigating translation more after hearing a radio story about Squid Games of all things, and how one Korean film critic was discussing how many "things" just did not come across correctly in like word for like word translation.

After spending a day reading various passages from a number of translations I have to say I really enjoy the Good News Translation. It is a "retelling" translation, that attempts to place in modern English the concepts of various passages. I find it is useful side by side with a more traditional translation such as the 1611 KJ.

Also may be a translation I use more for witnessing to others or spreading the Word. Psalms and Proverbs reads very relatable in this translation.
