-:This approach lines up the common words "we know" and helps the brain to organize the verse more effectively. It also lines up the third "we" with the first two, so that it's possible to memorize a shorthand for this verse - "we know, we know, we keep".  This forms a skeleton upon which we can hang the rest of the words. Look for other structure as well, such as that the word following "we" always starts with a 'k' and has four letters.

-;In song: Many passages of scripture have been set to music.  Memorizing the lyrics to a song is a lot easier than memorizing raw text, and the memory will last for ''years''.  If the verse you are trying to memorize has already been set to music, switch to the version of the text that matches the song.  If it has not been set to music, make up your own tune.  Explore different translations of the text to see which one lends itself best to your song.
