 1 As the deer   pants for streams of water,   so my soul pants   for you, my God.  2 My soul thirsts   for God, for the living God.   When can I go   and meet with God?  3 My tears   have been my food day and night, while people say to me all day long, “Where is your God?”    4 These things I remember as I pour out my soul:   how I used to go to the house of God   under the protection of the Mighty One  with shouts of joy   and praise   among the festive throng.    5 Why, my soul, are you downcast?   Why so disturbed   within me? Put your hope in God,   for I will yet praise   him, my Savior   and my God.    6 My soul is downcast within me; therefore I will remember   you from the land of the Jordan,   the heights of Hermon  —from Mount Mizar.  7 Deep calls to deep   in the roar of your waterfalls; all your waves and breakers have swept over me.    8 By day the Lord directs his love,   at night   his song   is with me— a prayer to the God of my life.    9 I say to God my Rock,   “Why have you forgotten   me? Why must I go about mourning,   oppressed   by the enemy?”    10 My bones suffer mortal agony   as my foes taunt   me, saying to me all day long, “Where is your God?”    11 Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.

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.
