Now they have encircled our paths and are determined to cast us down to the ground.

Now I know that the LORD has delivered his anointed; he has answered him from his sanctuary with the strength of his right hand of deliverance.

But now I am always with you, for you keep holding my right hand.

Now you, LORD my God, defend me for your name's sake; because your gracious love is good, deliver me!

May the name of the LORD be blessed from now to eternity.

Why should the nations ask "Where now is their God?"

But we will bless the LORD from now to eternity. Hallelujah!

Let Israel now say, "His gracious love is eternal."

Let the house of Aaron now say, "His gracious love is eternal."

Let those who fear the LORD now say, "His gracious love is eternal."

Please LORD, deliver us! Please LORD, hurry and bring success now!

Before I was humbled, I wandered away, but now I observe your words.

For the sake of my relatives and friends I will now say, "May there be peace within you."

If the LORD had not been on our side let Israel now say

Just as mountains encircle Jerusalem, so the LORD encircles his people, from now to eternity.

Place your hope in the LORD, Israel, both now and forever. A Song of Ascents

Now bless the LORD, all you servants of the LORD who serve nightly in the LORD's Temple.
