 1 I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart;   I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.    2 I will be glad and rejoice   in you; I will sing the praises   of your name,   O Most High.  3 My enemies turn back; they stumble and perish before you.  4 For you have upheld my right   and my cause,   sitting enthroned   as the righteous judge.    5 You have rebuked the nations   and destroyed the wicked; you have blotted out their name   for ever and ever.  6 Endless ruin has overtaken my enemies, you have uprooted their cities;   even the memory of them   has perished.  7 The Lord reigns forever;   he has established his throne   for judgment.  8 He rules the world in righteousness   and judges the peoples with equity.    9 The Lord is a refuge   for the oppressed,   a stronghold in times of trouble.    10 Those who know your name   trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken   those who seek you.    11 Sing the praises   of the Lord, enthroned in Zion;   proclaim among the nations   what he has done.    12 For he who avenges blood   remembers; he does not ignore the cries of the afflicted.    13 Lord, see how my enemies   persecute me! Have mercy   and lift me up from the gates of death,    14 that I may declare your praises   in the gates of Daughter Zion,   and there rejoice in your salvation.    15 The nations have fallen into the pit they have dug;   their feet are caught in the net they have hidden.    16 The Lord is known by his acts of justice; the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands.     17 The wicked go down to the realm of the dead,   all the nations that forget God.    18 But God will never forget the needy; the hope   of the afflicted   will never perish.  19 Arise,  Lord, do not let mortals triumph;   let the nations be judged   in your presence.  20 Strike them with terror,  Lord; let the nations know they are only mortal.   1 Why, Lord, do you stand far off?   Why do you hide yourself   in times of trouble?  2 In his arrogance the wicked man hunts down the weak,   who are caught in the schemes he devises.  3 He boasts   about the cravings of his heart; he blesses the greedy and reviles the Lord.    4 In his pride the wicked man does not seek him; in all his thoughts there is no room for God.    5 His ways are always prosperous; your laws are rejected by  him; he sneers at all his enemies.  6 He says to himself, “Nothing will ever shake me.” He swears, “No one will ever do me harm.”    7 His mouth is full   of lies and threats;   trouble and evil are under his tongue.    8 He lies in wait   near the villages; from ambush he murders the innocent.   His eyes watch in secret for his victims;  9     like a lion in cover he lies in wait. He lies in wait to catch the helpless;   he catches the helpless and drags them off in his net.    10 His victims are crushed,   they collapse; they fall under his strength.  11 He says to himself, “God will never notice;   he covers his face and never sees.”    12 Arise,  Lord! Lift up your hand,   O God. Do not forget the helpless.    13 Why does the wicked man revile God?   Why does he say to himself, “He won’t call me to account”?    14 But you, God, see the trouble   of the afflicted; you consider their grief and take it in hand. The victims commit themselves to you;   you are the helper   of the fatherless.  15 Break the arm of the wicked man;   call the evildoer to account for his wickedness that would not otherwise be found out.  16 The Lord is King for ever and ever;   the nations   will perish from his land.  17 You, Lord, hear the desire of the afflicted;   you encourage them, and you listen to their cry,    18 defending the fatherless   and the oppressed,   so that mere earthly mortals will never again strike terror.

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.
