Psalm 19:14

 1 The heavens   declare   the glory of God;   the skies   proclaim the work of his hands.    2 Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge.    3 They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them.  4 Yet their voice  goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.   In the heavens God has pitched a tent   for the sun.    5     It is like a bridegroom   coming out of his chamber,   like a champion   rejoicing to run his course.  6 It rises at one end of the heavens   and makes its circuit to the other;   nothing is deprived of its warmth.  7 The law of the Lord   is perfect,   refreshing the soul.   The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy,   making wise the simple.    8 The precepts of the Lord are right,   giving joy   to the heart. The commands of the Lord are radiant, giving light to the eyes.    9 The fear of the Lord   is pure, enduring forever. The decrees of the Lord are firm, and all of them are righteous.    10 They are more precious than gold,   than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey,   than honey from the honeycomb.    11 By them your servant is warned; in keeping them there is great reward.  12 But who can discern their own errors? Forgive my hidden faults.    13 Keep your servant also from willful sins;   may they not rule over me.   Then I will be blameless,   innocent of great transgression.  14 May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing   in your sight, Lord, my Rock   and my Redeemer.  

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.
