@D. Adrien There's a sung version of this also............ not only the one from Handel's Messiah but another one, the author of which I don't recall.

Wow! I am totally unaware of this...at the risk of revealing my lack of culture. :o

I'd give ya upvotes but I'm all out for the day. Generosity is cheap when it's easy.:36:

I have a question. There are so many, so many verses in the bible. How do you actually select which verses you are going to memorize?

@D. Adrien Some Protestant churches have not made it part of their practice to sing Scripture much; but there is certainly a lot of profit to it.

I don't have voice for song. I taught myself how to navigate a guitar and then I lost interest.

I choose verses to memorize simply if the verse moves me emotionally or inspires me. Some are well known by many and others are obscure.

@D. Adrien Another relevant verse....... Jeremiah 15.16: "Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O Lord God of hosts."

Yes farouk, Jeremiah has some marvelous passages. Jer. 9:23-24

 

23Thus says the LORD: “Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man boast in his might, let not the rich man boast in his riches, 24but let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the LORD who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth. For in these things I delight, declares the LORD.”

@D. Adrien Great verse there; goes with 1 Corinthians 1.30: "But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption"...

Another Jeremiah one farouk, which is well known:

17:9-10 (NKJV)

9“The heart is deceitful above all things,
And desperately wicked;
Who can know it?
10I, the Lord, search the heart,
I test the mind,
Even to give every man according to his ways,
According to the fruit of his doings.

@D. Adrien Indeed; such a lot in Jeremiah.............
