Psalm 5:12

 1 Give ear  to my words, O Lord, consider my sighing.   2 Listen to my cry for help,  my King and my God,  for to you I pray.  3 In the morning,  O Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation.   4 You are not a God who takes pleasure in evil; with you the wicked  cannot dwell.  5 The arrogant  cannot stand  in your presence; you hate  all who do wrong.  6 You destroy those who tell lies;  bloodthirsty and deceitful men the Lord abhors.  7 But I, by your great mercy, will come into your house; in reverence  will I bow down  toward your holy temple.   8 Lead me, O Lord, in your righteousness  because of my enemies— make straight your way  before me.  9 Not a word from their mouth can be trusted; their heart is filled with destruction. Their throat is an open grave;  with their tongue they speak deceit.   10 Declare them guilty, O God! Let their intrigues be their downfall. Banish them for their many sins,  for they have rebelled  against you.  11 But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy.  Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name  may rejoice in you.   12 For surely, O Lord, you bless the righteous;  you surround them  with your favor as with a shield. 

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 has become one of the most popular and best-selling modern translations.
