 1 I will sing   of the Lord’s great love forever; with my mouth I will make your faithfulness known   through all generations.  2 I will declare that your love stands firm forever, that you have established your faithfulness in heaven itself.    3 You said, “I have made a covenant with my chosen one, I have sworn to David my servant,  4 ‘I will establish your line forever and make your throne firm through all generations.’”     5 The heavens   praise your wonders, Lord, your faithfulness too, in the assembly   of the holy ones.  6 For who in the skies above can compare with the Lord? Who is like the Lord among the heavenly beings?    7 In the council   of the holy ones   God is greatly feared; he is more awesome than all who surround him.    8 Who is like you,  Lord God Almighty?   You, Lord, are mighty, and your faithfulness surrounds you.  9 You rule over the surging sea; when its waves mount up, you still them.    10 You crushed Rahab   like one of the slain; with your strong arm you scattered   your enemies.  11 The heavens are yours,   and yours also the earth;   you founded the world and all that is in it.    12 You created the north and the south; Tabor   and Hermon   sing for joy   at your name.  13 Your arm is endowed with power; your hand is strong, your right hand exalted.    14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne;   love and faithfulness go before you.    15 Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk   in the light   of your presence, Lord.  16 They rejoice in your name   all day long; they celebrate your righteousness.  17 For you are their glory and strength,   and by your favor you exalt our horn.     18 Indeed, our shield    belongs to the Lord, our king   to the Holy One of Israel.  19 Once you spoke in a vision, to your faithful people you said: “I have bestowed strength on a warrior; I have raised up a young man from among the people.  20 I have found David   my servant;   with my sacred oil   I have anointed   him.  21 My hand will sustain him; surely my arm will strengthen him.    22 The enemy will not get the better of him;   the wicked will not oppress   him.  23 I will crush his foes before him   and strike down his adversaries.    24 My faithful love will be with him,   and through my name his horn  will be exalted.  25 I will set his hand over the sea, his right hand over the rivers.    26 He will call out to me, ‘You are my Father,   my God, the Rock   my Savior.’    27 And I will appoint him to be my firstborn,   the most exalted   of the kings   of the earth.  28 I will maintain my love to him forever, and my covenant with him will never fail.    29 I will establish his line forever, his throne as long as the heavens endure.    30 “If his sons forsake my law and do not follow my statutes,  31 if they violate my decrees and fail to keep my commands,  32 I will punish their sin with the rod, their iniquity with flogging;    33 but I will not take my love from him,   nor will I ever betray my faithfulness.  34 I will not violate my covenant or alter what my lips have uttered.    35 Once for all, I have sworn by my holiness— and I will not lie to David—  36 that his line will continue forever and his throne endure before me like the sun;    37 it will be established forever like the moon, the faithful witness in the sky.”    38 But you have rejected,   you have spurned, you have been very angry with your anointed one.  39 You have renounced the covenant with your servant and have defiled his crown in the dust.    40 You have broken through all his walls   and reduced his strongholds   to ruins.  41 All who pass by have plundered   him; he has become the scorn of his neighbors.    42 You have exalted the right hand of his foes; you have made all his enemies rejoice.    43 Indeed, you have turned back the edge of his sword and have not supported him in battle.    44 You have put an end to his splendor and cast his throne to the ground.  45 You have cut short   the days of his youth; you have covered him with a mantle of shame.    46 How long, Lord? Will you hide yourself forever? How long will your wrath burn like fire?    47 Remember how fleeting is my life.   For what futility you have created all humanity!  48 Who can live and not see death, or who can escape the power of the grave?    49 Lord, where is your former great love, which in your faithfulness you swore to David?  50 Remember, Lord, how your servant has  been mocked,   how I bear in my heart the taunts of all the nations,  51 the taunts with which your enemies, Lord, have mocked, with which they have mocked every step of your anointed one.    52 Praise be to the Lord forever! Amen and Amen.  

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.
