Ranger Spells worth taking(all WOTC)

[Fishbone]

I'm not sure how original this is but I'm planning on making a Ranger with a Monk's belt and the feat Zen Archery. This gives an untyped Wisdom+1 bonus to AC, can use Wisdom instead of Dexterity to modify ranged attacks, and get a ton of bonus spells that you just don't see the ranger having.
So, from all Wizards of the Coast sources...
What are the must have Ranger spells?

 

[Patlin]

Here are a few to get you started:

Spell Compendium
-1-
Arrow Mind
Aspect of the Wolf
Camoflage
Hunter's Mercy
-2-
Listening Lorecall
-3-
Arrow Storm
Forestfold
-4-
Foebane

 

[Twowolves]

All those plus Longstrider.

It may be boring, but don't forget Cure Light Wounds. Memorizing one of them can be a life-saver in a tough spot and worst case is you use it at the end of the day.

I'm a big fan of the tree strider spells for mobility purposes if the environment allows. A tree feather token might help you out with those -- instant oak!

Also don't forget all the wands and scrolls you can use!

From Spell Compendium, almost anything with a Swift action casting time.

Swift haste is pretty good (2nd-level). Also, having a resist elements around is good in a pinch. Darkvision is nice for those races that do not have it.

Hunter's Mercy is really nice. Thanks for all the suggestions!
