 1 Lord my God, I take refuge   in you; save and deliver me   from all who pursue me,    2 or they will tear me apart like a lion   and rip me to pieces with no one to rescue   me.  3 Lord my God, if I have done this and there is guilt on my hands  —  4 if I have repaid my ally with evil or without cause   have robbed my foe—  5 then let my enemy pursue and overtake   me; let him trample my life to the ground   and make me sleep in the dust.     6 Arise,  Lord, in your anger; rise up against the rage of my enemies.   Awake,   my God; decree justice.  7 Let the assembled peoples gather around you, while you sit enthroned over them on high.    8     Let the Lord judge   the peoples. Vindicate me, Lord, according to my righteousness,   according to my integrity,   O Most High.    9 Bring to an end the violence of the wicked and make the righteous secure—   you, the righteous God   who probes minds and hearts.    10 My shield    is God Most High, who saves the upright in heart.    11 God is a righteous judge,   a God who displays his wrath   every day.  12 If he does not relent,   he  will sharpen his sword;   he will bend and string his bow.    13 He has prepared his deadly weapons; he makes ready his flaming arrows.    14 Whoever is pregnant with evil conceives trouble and gives birth   to disillusionment.  15 Whoever digs a hole and scoops it out falls into the pit   they have made.    16 The trouble they cause recoils on them; their violence comes down on their own heads.  17 I will give thanks to the Lord because of his righteousness;   I will sing the praises   of the name of the Lord Most High.  

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.
