Psalm 94:23

 1 The Lord is a God who avenges.   O God who avenges, shine forth.    2 Rise up,   Judge   of the earth; pay back   to the proud what they deserve.  3 How long, Lord, will the wicked, how long will the wicked be jubilant?    4 They pour out arrogant   words; all the evildoers are full of boasting.    5 They crush your people,  Lord; they oppress your inheritance.    6 They slay the widow   and the foreigner; they murder the fatherless.    7 They say, “The Lord does not see;   the God of Jacob   takes no notice.”  8 Take notice, you senseless ones   among the people; you fools, when will you become wise?  9 Does he who fashioned the ear not hear? Does he who formed the eye not see?    10 Does he who disciplines   nations not punish? Does he who teaches   mankind lack knowledge?  11 The Lord knows all human plans;   he knows that they are futile.    12 Blessed is the one you discipline,  Lord, the one you teach   from your law;  13 you grant them relief from days of trouble,   till a pit   is dug for the wicked.  14 For the Lord will not reject his people;   he will never forsake his inheritance.  15 Judgment will again be founded on righteousness,   and all the upright in heart   will follow it.  16 Who will rise up   for me against the wicked? Who will take a stand for me against evildoers?    17 Unless the Lord had given me help,   I would soon have dwelt in the silence of death.    18 When I said, “My foot is slipping,  ” your unfailing love, Lord, supported me.  19 When anxiety   was great within me, your consolation   brought me joy.  20 Can a corrupt throne   be allied with you— a throne that brings on misery by its decrees?    21 The wicked band together   against the righteous and condemn the innocent   to death.    22 But the Lord has become my fortress, and my God the rock   in whom I take refuge.    23 He will repay   them for their sins and destroy   them for their wickedness; the Lord our God will destroy them.

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.
