To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David, the servant of the LORD, who addressed the words of this song to the LORD on the day when the LORD rescued him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul. He said:
I love you, O LORD, my strength.
The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,
my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
Psalm 18:1-2 English Standard Version
At one point I was trying to memorize all the Psalms. I got up to Psalm 6 and then kinda lost heart, and I quit.
Ever since that failure I've been thnkng about tryng again. I did find that the easiest Psalms to memorize by far were the ones that I knew as songs, and so at one point I tried to compose a tune for each Psalm I was memorizing. But my musical composition skills are poor, and my progress tedious and laborious and uninspired.
Maybe if I took familiar, beloved tunes instead? That might work.
