 1 In that day   this song will be sung   in the land of Judah: We have a strong city;   God makes salvation its walls   and ramparts.    2 Open the gates   that the righteous   nation may enter, the nation that keeps faith.  3 You will keep in perfect peace   those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust   in you.  4 Trust   in the Lord forever,   for the Lord, the Lord himself, is the Rock   eternal.  5 He humbles those who dwell on high, he lays the lofty city low; he levels it to the ground   and casts it down to the dust.    6 Feet trample   it down— the feet of the oppressed,   the footsteps of the poor.    7 The path of the righteous is level;   you, the Upright One,   make the way of the righteous smooth.    8 Yes, Lord, walking in the way of your laws,    we wait   for you; your name   and renown are the desire of our hearts.  9 My soul yearns for you in the night;   in the morning my spirit longs   for you. When your judgments   come upon the earth, the people of the world learn righteousness.   

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.
