There are actually three versions of the Ten Commandments, Jewish, Catholic (and Lutheran), and Protestant taken from Exodus Chapter 20:1-17 and Deuteronomy Chapter 5:6-21.
With the new revelations of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit in the early Catholic Church, a slightly different emphasis was placed on different commandments.
Then 1500 years later, the Protestant in objecting to certain Catholic practices, once again changed the emphasis of the Ten Commandments.
+ Jewish Ten Commandments (before 1000 BC)
1. I am the Lord your G-d who has taken you out of the land of Egypt.
2. You shall have no other gods but me.
3. You shall not take the name of the Lord your G-d in vain.
4. You shall remember the Sabbath and keep it Holy.
5. Honor you mother and father.
6. You shall not murder.
7. You shall not commit adultery.
8. You shall not steal.
9. You shall not bear false witness.
10. You shall not covet anything that belongs to your neighbor.

+ Catholic (and Lutheran) Ten Commandments (about 100 AD)
1. I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself a graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them or serve them.
2. You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain
3. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor, and do all your work; but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God; in it, you shall not do any work.
4. Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which the Lord your God gives you.
5. You shall not kill.
6. You shall not commit adultery.
7. You shall not steal.
8. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
9. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife.
10. You shall not desire your neighbor's house, his field, or his manservant, or his maidservant, or his ox, or his ***, or anything that is your neighbor's.

EASY WAY TO REMEMBER ALL 10 COMMANDMENTS
This is by visual association. I heard this on Family Radio a few years back. It sticks with me.
1) Picture a big red number 1 pasted across the sky. Remember God said, "I Am the Lord your God".
2) Picture the number 2 as a swan and the fact that God hates worship of idols, "Do not make a false idol".
3) Picutre the number 3 - on it's side it is the shape of human lips blaspheming God's name. "Do not take the Lord's name in vain".
4) Picture the number 4, as the sail of a sailboat that has a hole in it - a hole-y sail boat. "Remember the sabbath day - keep it holy".
5) Picture the number 5 as a child bowing before his parents in honor, "Honor your father & mother".
6) Picture the number 6 as a gun - used to murder someone. "You shall not murder".
7) Picture the number 7 as a golf putter (upside down) - while you're out golfing your spouse sleeps with your neighbor, "Do not commit adultery".
8) Picture the number 8 as a snowman. You need a steel shovel for that. "Do not steel".
9) Picture the number 9 as representing a cat with 9 lives. Everyone knows cats have only 1 life - 9 lives is a lie. "Do not lie".
10) Picture the number 10 as an arrow (the number 1) aiming for a target (the number 0). The arrow is aiming for the target - seeking what it cannot have. "Do not covet (seek what is not yours)".
Hope it helps.

From Deuteronomy Chapter 5 Verses 1- 22
Have no other Gods than me.
Make and worship no images
Do not use my name as a swear word
Keep the Sabbath (some say holy)
Honour your parents
Do not Murder
Do not commit adultery (Jesus went onto say even lusting after someone was as bad as committing adultery)
Do not steal
Do not give false witness against your neighbour.
Do not covert neighbours possessions (wife, house, fields, oxen, servants).
This is my modern translation. A lot of them make good sense even for non believers. If we did not steal or want what our neighbours own then there would be no wars. Even if you do not believe having a day off from work at least once a week is sensible.

Exodus 20:3-17 (HCSB)
*3 Do not have other gods besides Me.
*4 Do not make an idol for yourself, whether in the shape of anything in the heavens above or on the earth below or in the waters under the earth.
5 You must not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the fathers’ sin, to the third and fourth [generations] of those who hate Me,
6 but showing faithful love to a thousand [generations] of those who love Me and keep My commands.
*7 Do not misuse the name of the Lord your God, because the Lord will punish anyone who misuses His name.
*8 Remember to dedicate the Sabbath day:
9 You are to labor six days and do all your work,
10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. You must not do any work—you, your son or daughter, your male or female slave, your livestock, or the foreigner who is within your gates.
11 For the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and everything in them in six days; then He rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and declared it holy.
*12 Honor your father and your mother so that you may have a long life in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.
*13 Do not murder.
*14 Do not commit adultery.
*15 Do not steal.
*16 Do not give false testimony against your neighbor.
*17 Do not covet your neighbor’s house. Do not covet your neighbor’s wife, his male or female slave, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.

There is in fact 103 commandments as told?related?given to Moses,but yes there were ten primary commandments.I could tell you but i would suggest that you have a quick look for yourself.If you do you will see that over the years they have by differing religious sects,monarchs etc have been alterd,not by a great deal but sometimes the omission of a single word can alter a commandment.

The ten commandments or Decalogue are found in Exodus chapter 20. Basically there are four commandments God-ward, and six man-ward. When Jesus was asked about them He summed them up as "Love God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength, and love your neighbour as yourself."
I think that the ones you have forgotten are :-
Don't take God's name in vain
Have no idol
Honour parents
keep the sabbath,
don't swear falsely

It is nice to know the commandments but there were not ten, there were actually over 101 statutes in Mosaic law. No one could fulfill it all, and the requirement was that all of it be fulfilled for any of it to count. Only Jesus Christ could fulfill it and he did and now every one that is born again of god, has christs spirit in them and is counted to have fuldilled the ot laws (commandments). Now we have only two great commandments. Love god with all your heart, soul, mind and strength, and love those around you as you love yourself.
If you fulfill these two commandments, you will never break the ot law.
