 1 Not to us, Lord, not to us but to your name be the glory,   because of your love and faithfulness.    2 Why do the nations say, “Where is their God?”    3 Our God is in heaven;   he does whatever pleases him.    4 But their idols are silver and gold,   made by human hands.    5 They have mouths, but cannot speak,   eyes, but cannot see.  6 They have ears, but cannot hear, noses, but cannot smell.  7 They have hands, but cannot feel, feet, but cannot walk, nor can they utter a sound with their throats.  8 Those who make them will be like them, and so will all who trust in them.  9 All you Israelites, trust   in the Lord— he is their help and shield.  10 House of Aaron,   trust in the Lord— he is their help and shield.  11 You who fear him,   trust in the Lord— he is their help and shield.  12 The Lord remembers   us and will bless us:   He will bless his people Israel, he will bless the house of Aaron,  13 he will bless those who fear   the Lord— small and great alike.  14 May the Lord cause you to flourish,   both you and your children.  15 May you be blessed by the Lord, the Maker of heaven   and earth.  16 The highest heavens belong to the Lord,   but the earth he has given   to mankind.  17 It is not the dead   who praise the Lord, those who go down to the place of silence;  18 it is we who extol the Lord,   both now and forevermore.   Praise the Lord.    1 I love the Lord,   for he heard my voice; he heard my cry   for mercy.    2 Because he turned his ear   to me, I will call on him as long as I live.  3 The cords of death   entangled me, the anguish of the grave came over me; I was overcome by distress and sorrow. 

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.
