KJV — word by word

it -- This is from the third-person, singular form of the following verb.

is -- (WT) This helping verb "is" indicates that the following verb is passive. Helping or auxiliary verbs are needed to translate the Greek verb forms into English. However, the tense here is the past perfect, so "has been".

written -- "Written" is a verb that means "to mark", "to express by written characters" and "to write down" [a law]. The form is passive, completed in the past, "it has been written".

again, -- It begins with the Greek word translated as "again" whose meaning of this word is "back" as it refers us back to something said earlier.

Thou -- This is from the second-person, singular form of the verb.

shalt -- This helping verb "shalt" indicates that the verb is the future tense. Helping or auxiliary verbs are needed to translate the Greek verb forms into English.

not -- The Greek word translated as "not" is the Greek negative used to deny objective facts, not opinions. It makes a negative statement of fact. Adding "really" to the sentence captures the same idea. It appears at the beginning of the sentence as we might start a sentence with a "no". 

tempt -- The Greek word that the KJV translates as "tempt" (or "test") is a little more complex than simply "to test". This word is only used by Jesus one other place in the Gospels, Mark 12:15. The combination of the prefix meaning "out" with a root word meaning "test" creates a word closer to our idea of "trying out" and "testing out" something. It has a strong flavor of "try out", "test the limits." 

the -- (WP)  The word translated as "the" is the Greek definite article, which usually precedes a noun and, without a noun, takes the meaning of "the one". However, this comes before the word "God" not "Lord". The Greek article is much closer to our demonstrative pronouns ("this", "that", "these", "those"). See this article for more. 

Lord - The term "Lord" indicates the person who, in a given situation, has the real power and authority. In English, we use the word "boss" to capture this idea. However, the term is more of an honorific than "boss." It is how Jesus is most often addressed by others. There is no "the" before the word in Greek.

thy -- The word translated as "thy" is the possessive form of the second person pronoun. This pronoun follows the noun so "of yours".

God.​ -- The word "God" means "the Divinity".

NIV — word by word

is -- (WT) This helping verb "is" indicates that the following verb is passive. Helping or auxiliary verbs are needed to translate the Greek verb forms into English. However, the tense here is the past perfect, so "has been".

also -- (CW) This verse begins with the Greek word translated as "again" that means "back" or "again". This is not the word normally translated as "again" in the NT.

written -- "Written" is a verb that means "to mark", "to express by written characters" and "to write down" [a law]. The form is passive, completed in the past, "it has been written".

Do -- (WF) This helping verb is added to make this a command, but the Greek is a statement.

not -- The Greek word translated as "not" is the Greek negative used to deny objective facts, not opinions. It makes a negative statement of fact. Adding "really" to the sentence captures the same idea. It appears at the beginning of the sentence as we might start a sentence with a "no". 

put -- (WT)  This helping verb "put" indicates that the verb is the present tense, but the verb is actually the future tense. This verb means "test", not "put", but that idea is completed with the phrase "to the test" below.

the -- (WP)  The word translated as "the" is the Greek definite article, which usually precedes a noun and, without a noun, takes the meaning of "the one". However, this comes before the word "God" not "Lord". The Greek article is much closer to our demonstrative pronouns ("this", "that", "these", "those"). See this article for more.
