Psalm 69:12

 1 Save me, O God, for the waters   have come up to my neck.    2 I sink in the miry depths,   where there is no foothold. I have come into the deep waters; the floods engulf me.  3 I am worn out calling for help;   my throat is parched. My eyes fail,   looking for my God.  4 Those who hate me   without reason   outnumber the hairs of my head; many are my enemies without cause,   those who seek to destroy me.   I am forced to restore what I did not steal.  5 You, God, know my folly;   my guilt is not hidden from you.    6 Lord, the Lord Almighty, may those who hope in you not be disgraced because of me; God of Israel, may those who seek you not be put to shame because of me.  7 For I endure scorn   for your sake,   and shame covers my face.    8 I am a foreigner to my own family, a stranger to my own mother’s children;    9 for zeal for your house consumes me,   and the insults of those who insult you fall on me.    10 When I weep and fast,   I must endure scorn;  11 when I put on sackcloth,   people make sport of me.  12 Those who sit at the gate   mock me, and I am the song of the drunkards.   

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.
