PRAYER ANSWERED: NEW! Revision of this page has been completed. Revisions are ongoing, but hopefully this page is now easier to access. Also, ReadPsalm119.com has reached #1 for search terms “Memorizing Psalm 119.” Thank you all for visiting, leaving such encouraging comments, and using and sharing these helps. God bless you as you study and learn with us!
PRAYER REQUESTS: TRANSLATIONS: Permission for the new translations and Spanish language are still pending. Hebrew Aleph-Beth picture pages are still in the ART stage. These will be for coloring pages, flashcard fronts, and as dividers for building the memorization notebook. More pages are slated for updating and editing. Thank you for your patience as I make this website a better, more useful and enjoyable place to come learn God’s Word together!

I will complete any translation or language by request. If you have a language request, please let me know what translation you’d like it in. Thanks!
RP119 MEMORIZATION CHALLENGE COMMUNITY NOTES
Thank you Ruth for letting us know you are learning Psalm 119 in the Good News Translation and sharing it with your young Bible study groups!
Welcome, Angela! It is great to hear from you that you are memorizing Psalm119 with us! Your note spurred me to finish the NIV audios! I really enjoy hearing from everyone! Thank you!
Thank you, Laura W., for visiting and leaving such an encouraging comment! Laura is just beginning her journey after hearing some wonderful stories about others memorizing Psalm 119 and reading a book on memorizing 100 Bible verses. Everytime I receive such kind comments, I get an enthusiastic urge to make our community that much better! Keep checking back with us!
OTHER SCRIPTURE MEMORY
Psalm Summary of Contents
This is offered here to give you an idea of creative ways we can all organize our study of God’s Word so that we not only read it, but we study it and organize all that we are learning so we can share it with others more easily.
Note that the Psalms are divided into “books”. These are shown in the notes.
This Table of Contents of the Psalms (not just 119) is a little project that I did to help me remember key passages correlated to the correct chapter. The Book of Psalms is a large collection! I made this TOC to fit inside the blank pages at the end of a little book of Psalms I purchased (see PHOTO credit below). It fits into some sizes of Moleskines, the back of your Bible, or a any journal by trimming, taping and pasting into the pages. Download for free here as a sample. You may want to create your own custom cheat sheet in a new format.

Psalm 27 – Kilauea Lighthouse, Kauai, HI. (Frameable Poster)
© 2019 ReadPsalm119.com. Rev. Oct. 22, 2024.
There are (KJV) 2,445 words in Ps 119……if MEMORY serves me right. 😊. I am in the process of “fine tuning” it now ( while my husband patiently listens to me recite). I do believe doing Ephesians, which has 2422 words, would have been far easier, but I have always loved Psalm 119! 😇😇
Hello, Karen! It is so good to hear from you! Wow, thank you for the word count! If you would ever like to do so, I would love to share an audio or video (link) of your recitation! I have always had a fear of memory work, not so much the effort of memorizing, but retention. I retain the concepts and “paraphrases” of content, but word-for-word has always been hard for me, thus this website and memorization project.
Thank you for writing in and encouraging us all with your efforts! I am working on the ESV translations of the memorization posters this week and should have those up. Hopefully next week will be the audio. I have had “the illness” in addition to travel, so thank you for bearing with me.
ESV of each prayer is now being progressively uploaded (see each prayer on the Prayers tab). ESV Memorization posters will come as soon as the NIV posters are completely uploaded, but we are on our way now.
Hi. I am currently memorizing Psalm 145. I am interested in memorizing Psalm 119 if you can make the memorization resources in ESV 2001? Thanks in advance. Rose
Rose,
Thank you for your interest in memorizing Psalm 119! I will be very happy to check on permissions to put these in ESV 2001. I will check on that this week and will get that done as soon as I can. 😀 — ReadPsalm119.com
Hi Tamara, I almost missed your reply coz it landed on my spam mail. Please take your time coz I know you have a lot of other things to do. Anyway, thanks in advance. May the Lord continue to bless you and your ministry. Amen.
Thank you so much Rose Marie! I have had down time with health concerns, as have many others since 2019, and monthly travel, so things had to be postponed for a bit. But I am now back and working on getting caught up to the place we left off. Thank you so much for your reply and especially for your patience.
