Psalm 39:5

 4 “Show me, Lord, my life’s end and the number of my days;   let me know how fleeting   my life is.    5 You have made my days   a mere handbreadth; the span of my years is as nothing before you. Everyone is but a breath,   even those who seem secure.  

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.
