 1 Lord, you have been our dwelling place   throughout all generations.  2 Before the mountains were born   or you brought forth the whole world, from everlasting to everlasting   you are God.    3 You turn people back to dust, saying, “Return to dust, you mortals.”    4 A thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night.    5 Yet you sweep people away   in the sleep of death— they are like the new grass of the morning:  6 In the morning it springs up new, but by evening it is dry and withered.    7 We are consumed by your anger and terrified by your indignation.  8 You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins   in the light of your presence.    9 All our days pass away under your wrath; we finish our years with a moan.    10 Our days may come to seventy years,   or eighty,   if our strength endures; yet the best of them are but trouble and sorrow,   for they quickly pass, and we fly away.    11 If only we knew the power of your anger! Your wrath   is as great as the fear that is your due.    12 Teach us to number our days,   that we may gain a heart of wisdom.    13 Relent, Lord! How long   will it be? Have compassion on your servants.    14 Satisfy   us in the morning with your unfailing love,   that we may sing for joy   and be glad all our days.    15 Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, for as many years as we have seen trouble.  16 May your deeds be shown to your servants, your splendor to their children.    17 May the favor  of the Lord our God rest on us; establish the work of our hands for us— yes, establish the work of our hands.

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.
