Psalm 18:1-6

1 I love you, LORD, my strength. 2 The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;
my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield[b] and the horn[c] of my salvation, my stronghold.
3 I called to the LORD, who is worthy of praise,
and I have been saved from my enemies.
4 The cords of death entangled me;
the torrents of destruction overwhelmed me.
5 The cords of the grave coiled around me;
the snares of death confronted me. 6 In my distress I called to the LORD;
I cried to my God for help.
From his temple he heard my voice;
my cry came before him, into his ears.

Soon after I was diagnosed with breast cancer I memorized this passage because it expressed so much of how I was feeling. Do any of you guys memorize portions of the Bible to meditate on? Unlike my kiddos, I'm a terrible memorizer and have to slowly plug away at it as it doesn't come naturally but it's done me a world of good.
