In Praise of Recitation

Psalms 119:3 (New Living Translation)

I have recited aloud
all the regulations you have given us.

This is a good practice – reciting aloud.

Perhaps, in days gone by, we used to do this more than we do now. As a child attending a Christian elementary school, we memorized Bible passages and recited them.

Note Google’s definition of recite:

repeat aloud or declaim (a poem or passage) from memory before an audience.

The act of stating the verses before an audience. We did that in the old days. Well? Anything wrong with reviving this heritage?
