Psalm 104:35

 1 Praise the Lord, my soul.   Lord my God, you are very great; you are clothed with splendor and majesty.    2 The Lord wraps   himself in light   as with a garment; he stretches   out the heavens   like a tent    3     and lays the beams   of his upper chambers on their waters.   He makes the clouds   his chariot   and rides on the wings of the wind.    4 He makes winds his messengers,    flames of fire   his servants.  5 He set the earth   on its foundations;   it can never be moved.  6 You covered it   with the watery depths   as with a garment; the waters stood   above the mountains.  7 But at your rebuke   the waters fled, at the sound of your thunder   they took to flight;  8 they flowed over the mountains, they went down into the valleys, to the place you assigned   for them.  9 You set a boundary   they cannot cross; never again will they cover the earth.  10 He makes springs   pour water into the ravines; it flows between the mountains.  11 They give water   to all the beasts of the field; the wild donkeys   quench their thirst.  12 The birds of the sky   nest by the waters; they sing among the branches.    13 He waters the mountains   from his upper chambers;   the land is satisfied by the fruit of his work.    14 He makes grass grow   for the cattle, and plants for people to cultivate— bringing forth food   from the earth:  15 wine   that gladdens human hearts, oil   to make their faces shine, and bread that sustains   their hearts.  16 The trees of the Lord   are well watered, the cedars of Lebanon   that he planted.  17 There the birds   make their nests; the stork has its home in the junipers.  18 The high mountains belong to the wild goats;   the crags are a refuge for the hyrax.    19 He made the moon to mark the seasons,   and the sun   knows when to go down.  20 You bring darkness,   it becomes night,   and all the beasts of the forest   prowl.  21 The lions roar for their prey   and seek their food from God.    22 The sun rises, and they steal away; they return and lie down in their dens.    23 Then people go out to their work,   to their labor until evening.    24 How many are your works,  Lord! In wisdom you made   them all; the earth is full of your creatures.    25 There is the sea,   vast and spacious, teeming with creatures beyond number— living things both large and small.    26 There the ships   go to and fro, and Leviathan,   which you formed to frolic   there.    27 All creatures look to you to give them their food   at the proper time.  28 When you give it to them, they gather it up; when you open your hand, they are satisfied   with good things.  29 When you hide your face,   they are terrified; when you take away their breath, they die and return to the dust.    30 When you send your Spirit,   they are created, and you renew the face of the ground.  31 May the glory of the Lord   endure forever; may the Lord rejoice in his works  —  32 he who looks at the earth, and it trembles,   who touches the mountains,   and they smoke.    33 I will sing   to the Lord all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.  34 May my meditation be pleasing to him, as I rejoice   in the Lord.  35 But may sinners vanish   from the earth and the wicked be no more.   Praise the Lord, my soul. Praise the Lord.   

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.
