Oh, that my words could be recorded. Oh, that they could be inscribed on a monument, carved with an iron chisel and filled with lead, engraved forever in the rock. But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives, and he will stand upon the earth at last. And after my body has decayed, yet in my body I will see God! I will see him for myself. Yes, I will see him with my own eyes. I am overwhelmed at the thought!
Wonderful! Is there a verse from chapter 27 which sticks out in your mind, as being significant ... of course, they are all significant :) (from Joosep)
17 O LORD, You have heard the desire of the humble; You will strengthen their heart, You will incline Your ear 18 To vindicate the orphan and the oppressed, So that man who is of the earth will no longer cause terror.
Thank you mrsmoo! Although, actually I'm doing a kind of Bible survey, adding verses based on a scheme I have on a spread sheet. It will be a while before I review them for the second time. What I'm doing here has more to do with meditating on large portions of God's Word, as opposed to memorizing. But I thank you anyway for your commendation!

I'd like to highlight what onfire247 wrote: a ratio of 2021 out of more than 2600. That shows a lot of commitment to carefully and accurate remembering God's Word. We are grateful for your example, and may those verses bear fruit in the lives of many others.
Thank you mrsmoo and JDJDJD, but ... I'm partially retired, self-employed, and work from home, so I have a lot of flexibility to my schedule and many opportunities throughout the day to log on here and knock off some verse reviews. But I do appreciate so much the warm words of my brothers and sisters here. God is good!
Thank you to you both for your affirmation! But in the interest of transparency ... I'm using this identity to add the entire NT in canonical order. It will take about 6 months to finish the job. Then I'll take another six months to review them in canonical order, and so on. At that rate they won't reach "fully learnt" for a very very very long time. So this is more like a reading project.
