 1 Deliver me from my enemies, O God;   be my fortress against those who are attacking me.    2 Deliver me from evildoers   and save me from those who are after my blood.    3 See how they lie in wait for me! Fierce men conspire   against me for no offense or sin of mine, Lord.  4 I have done no wrong,   yet they are ready to attack me.   Arise to help me; look on my plight!    5 You, Lord God Almighty, you who are the God of Israel,   rouse yourself   to punish all the nations;   show no mercy to wicked traitors.     6 They return at evening, snarling like dogs,   and prowl about the city.  7 See what they spew from their mouths  — the words from their lips are sharp as swords,   and they think, “Who can hear us?”    8 But you laugh at them, Lord;   you scoff at all those nations.    9 You are my strength,   I watch for you; you, God, are my fortress,    10     my God on whom I can rely. God will go before me and will let me gloat over those who slander me.  11 But do not kill them, Lord our shield,    or my people will forget.   In your might uproot them and bring them down.    12 For the sins of their mouths,   for the words of their lips,   let them be caught in their pride.   For the curses and lies they utter,  13     consume them in your wrath, consume them till they are no more.   Then it will be known to the ends of the earth that God rules over Jacob.    14 They return at evening, snarling like dogs, and prowl about the city.  15 They wander about for food   and howl if not satisfied.  16 But I will sing   of your strength,   in the morning   I will sing of your love;   for you are my fortress,   my refuge in times of trouble.    17 You are my strength, I sing praise to you; you, God, are my fortress, my God on whom I can rely.  

From Wikipedia: 

The New International Version (NIV) is an English translation of the Bible first published in 1978 by Biblica (formerly the International Bible Society). The NIV was published to meet the need for a modern translation done by Bible scholars using the earliest, highest quality manuscripts available. Of equal importance was that the Bible be expressed in broadly understood modern English.

The NIV is published by Zondervan in the United States and Hodder & Stoughton in the UK. The NIV was updated in 1984 and 2011 and has become one of the most popular and best-selling modern translations.
