Mine is...
Psalm 96
1 Sing to the LORD a new song;
sing to the LORD, all the earth.
2 Sing to the LORD, praise his name;
proclaim his salvation day after day.
3 Declare his glory among the nations,
his marvelous deeds among all peoples.
4 For great is the LORD and most worthy of praise;
he is to be feared above all gods.
5 For all the gods of the nations are idols,
but the LORD made the heavens.
6 Splendor and majesty are before him;
strength and glory are in his sanctuary.
7 Ascribe to the LORD, O families of nations,
ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.
8 Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name;
bring an offering and come into his courts.
9 Worship the LORD in the splendor of his [a] holiness;
tremble before him, all the earth.
10 Say among the nations, "The LORD reigns."
The world is firmly established, it cannot be moved;
he will judge the peoples with equity.
11 Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad;
let the sea resound, and all that is in it;
12 let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them.
Then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy;
13 they will sing before the LORD, for he comes,
he comes to judge the earth.
He will judge the world in righteousness
and the peoples in his truth.

Pslam 119 Waw
Make your unfailing love come to me,
O LORD,
Your Salvation according to your promise;
Then I will answer the one who taunts me,
for I Trust in your Word.
Do no snatch the Word of Truth from my mouth,
for I have put my Hope in Your Laws.
I will always obey your law,
forever and ever.
I will walk about in Freedom,
for I have sought out your precepts.
I will speak of your statutes before the kings
and I will not be put to shame,
for I delight in your comands
because I love them.
I lift up my hand to your commands,
which I love, and I meditate on your decrees.

Wow, I don't know..
I love Psalms and 2nd Timothy, especially for these two verses, which I've memorized and recite ever day at least once.
Psalm 89: 1-2;5-6
" I will sing of The Lord's great love forever. With my mouth I will make your faithfullness known through all generations. I will declare that Your love stands firm forever, that you established Your faithfulness in Heaven itself. The Heavens praise Your wonder, O Lord, and Your faithfulness too, in the assembly of the Holy Ones. Who in the skies can compare witht he Lord? Who is like Th Lord among the Heavenly beings?"
2nd Timothy 2:22-26
" Flee from the evil desires of youth, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. Don't have anything to do with foolush or stupid arguements, because you know they produce quarrels and the Lord's servant must not quarrel; instead, he must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful. Those who oppose him he must gently instruct in the hopes tht God will grant them repentance, leading them to the knowledge of the truth, and they will come their senses, and escape the trp of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will."
__
However, I'd have to ssay that the two coolest books of the Bible are Genesis and Revelations.
I mean, you never realize that we go through all of the foloowing in Genesis:
Adam &Eve
Cain&Abel
A Whole bunch of People
Noah
Ham, Shem, Japheth
Their ancestors
Abraham:Sarah
Lot
The Fall of Sodom And Gomorrah
Isaac& Rebekah
Jacob&Esau
Jacob's Treachery
Jacob& Bilha, Zilphah, Leah, and Rachel
Joseph, Reuben, Benjamin, Judah, Simeon, Zebulon, Asher, Dan, Issachar, Naphtali, Gad, Levi, & Dinah
Dinah's Rape
Joseph sold into slavery
jospeph becomes second to Pharaoh
Joseph had Mannessah & Ephraim
Joseph and his family are reunited
Jacob Blesses The two sons of Joseph as He dies
Jews live in Egypt
Egyptians eventually get angry and capture the Jews.
__
That's alot that happens, and only q brief, brief overview. You just don''t think of Genesis having that much, and then Revelatin - it holds the stuff about the end of the world..

I like Psalm 70. It gives me encouragement when people say hurtful things to me.
1 Make haste, O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O Lord.
2 Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt.
3 Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha.
4 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.
5 But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: thou art my help and my deliverer; O Lord, make no tarrying.

Straight up Psalm lol. Chapter is:
Psalm 139
1
O LORD, you have examined my heart
and know everything about me.
2
You know when I sit down or stand up.
You know my every thought when far away.
3
You chart the path ahead of me
and tell me where to stop and rest.
Every moment you know where I am.
4
You know what I am going to say
even before I say it, LORD.
5
You both precede and follow me.
You place your hand of blessing on my head.
6
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too great for me to know!
7
I can never escape from your spirit!
I can never get away from your presence!
8
If I go up to heaven, you are there;
if I go down to the place of the dead,[a] you are there.
9
If I ride the wings of the morning,
if I dwell by the farthest oceans,
10
even there your hand will guide me,
and your strength will support me.
11
I could ask the darkness to hide me
and the light around me to become night--
12 but even in darkness I cannot hide from you.
To you the night shines as bright as day.
Darkness and light are both alike to you.
13
You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body
and knit me together in my mother's womb.
14
Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex!
Your workmanship is marvelous--and how well I know it.
15
You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion,
as I was woven together in the dark of the womb.
16
You saw me before I was born.
Every day of my life was recorded in your book.
Every moment was laid out
before a single day had passed.
17
How precious are your thoughts about me, O God!
They are innumerable!
18
I can't even count them;
they outnumber the grains of sand!
And when I wake up in the morning,
you are still with me!
19
O God, if only you would destroy the wicked!
Get out of my life, you murderers!
20
They blaspheme you;
your enemies take your name in vain.
21
O LORD, shouldn't I hate those who hate you?
Shouldn't I despise those who resist you?
22
Yes, I hate them with complete hatred,
for your enemies are my enemies.
23
Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my thoughts.
24
Point out anything in me that offends you,
and lead me along the path of everlasting life.
To be honest. I like em all in Psalm. biggrin

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8. For some reason I find it reassuring and soothing.
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
