 14 Why, Lord, do you reject   me and hide your face   from me?  15 From my youth   I have suffered   and been close to death; I have borne your terrors   and am in despair.    16 Your wrath   has swept over me; your terrors   have destroyed me. 

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.
