I read KJV but posted NIV.
Psalm 140 NIV
1 Rescue me, Lord, from evildoers; protect me from the violent, 2 who devise evil plans in their hearts and stir up war every day. 3 They make their tongues as sharp as a serpent’s; the poison of vipers is on their lips.[b]
4 Keep me safe, Lord, from the hands of the wicked; protect me from the violent, who devise ways to trip my feet. 5 The arrogant have hidden a snare for me; they have spread out the cords of their net and have set traps for me along my path.
6 I say to the Lord, “You are my God.” Hear, Lord, my cry for mercy. 7 Sovereign Lord, my strong deliverer, you shield my head in the day of battle. 8 Do not grant the wicked their desires, Lord; do not let their plans succeed.
9 Those who surround me proudly rear their heads; may the mischief of their lips engulf them. 10 May burning coals fall on them; may they be thrown into the fire, into miry pits, never to rise. 11 May slanderers not be established in the land; may disaster hunt down the violent.
12 I know that the Lord secures justice for the poor and upholds the cause of the needy. 13 Surely the righteous will praise your name, and the upright will live in your presence.
In these times, maybe should be memorized.
Maybe something I will work on to keep my old mine sharp,,, we'll at least no more dull than it's always been.
Lol. Contact dementia is a thing, and I definitely have it.
Funny, I can still recite, in entirety, from memory things I committed to memory, in the 70/80 like:
Tennyson's Ulysses, The Voyage, and The Charge of the Light Brigade
Father Forgets W. Livingston Learned. Every young parent should read this and remember it's message.
Hamlet, Act III, Scene I
Casabianca by Felicia Dorothea Hemans
Various other works by different people.
I also remember all 100 peg words from Harry Lorayne memory system.
But I'll be damned if I can remember where I put my car keys, billfold from day to day.
Exactly. I'll be 50 this year. I can literally remember having my diapers changed, first day of kindergarten, weird old 70s stuff, my old phone number. But my husband has dementia. Hanging out with him since he's developed it, I feel like I lose more recent memory. Stress, age, life I guess.
Please use this information I compiled to research MMS and DMSO. Both of these extremely suppressed chemicals have potential to reverse dementia. They can be combined to be very powerful agents.
These are very, very safe to take. I have taken on and off for a long time with zero issues. But do your own research so that you feel comfortable.
If you have any questions, please ask me. I will answer or direct you to information that will provide answer.

If you look at the Testimonies site, you will see only two testimonies under Dementia. Be advised that this is an old site. There are most likely many more such testimonies on mewe and other sites, but I don't visit them.
And in the MMS Health Recovery Guide you will see one testimonial:
Alzheimer's Gone: I am familiar with Alzheimer's, so when I had symptoms occur, they were familiar to me. I noticed I was not coping socially, and I was starting to have total gaps in my memory (and thus withdrawing). Because I had heard of MMS being used to cure dementia I decided I had nothing to lose.
I followed the protocol for one month, slowly building up to the full dose of 3 drops every hour for 8 hours, and staying with the regime, for the full period, (it is important to note that if the dose is causing you to feel unwell, cut back on the doses per day and keep it low for 2 days then start to increase to the level you can tolerate, but do not stop all together). By the end of the treatment I noticed a remarkable change in my cognition, and as time goes on my condition continues to improve. I feel like a new person, I am social again, happy, and look forward to each new day. —Sam
Just for fun: Bet someone they cannot talk for one minute at a regular speaking rate without using the letter "A".
When they ask you if you can do it, just start counting, one, two, three, .......
You will not get to a letter A until one hundred And one.
God didn't want us to memorize and quote he wanted us to read and understand.
The Son of God memorized and quoted the Scriptures, including Psalms, in the Gospel, so I’m not sure how that conclusion could be reached.
I remember somewhere reading and when I find it I will forward that God wants you to talk to him not memorize scripture but to learn from it.
Why not both?
Still, you want mind if I memorize some of it will you, for, as I said:
to keep my mind sharp!
Feel free it is better than memorizing mind numbing garbage.
Amen.
