The two largest Lutheran church groups in the United States are the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) and the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod (LCMS). Each of these groups publishes a Lutheran Study Bible through their respective publishing arms, Augsburg Fortress for the ELCA and Concordia for the LCMS.
The ELCA Lutheran Study Bible uses the National Council of Churches' New Revised Standard Version (NRSV) translation, and the LCMS uses Crossway Bibles' English Standard Version (ESV) translation. Both of these translations are derived from the National Council of Churches' Revised Standard Version (RSV) translation, as updated in 1971.
The ESV is somewhat more conservative than the NRSV, and was adopted by the LCMS as the official Bible text for the Lutheran Service Book, the most recent hymnal and liturgy for the LCMS and the Lutheran Church - Canada (LCC). The equivalent book for the ELCA and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada (ELCIC) is Evangelical Lutheran Worship.

In fact, Lutheranism was founded on the belief of Sola Scriptura, which means they get EVERYTHING from The Bible, and only the Bible, and do not have a specific hierarchical clergy to interpret the Bible like Catholicism and Orthodoxy do.
