3 Most Powerful Psalms to Pray for a Blessing
First, begin your prayer session with a Psalm of Repentance:
Psalm 51 – A Psalm of Repentance
Have mercy on me, God, in accord with Your merciful love;
in Your abundant compassion blot out my transgressions.
Thoroughly wash away my guilt;
and from my sin cleanse me.
For I know my transgressions;
my sin is always before me.
Against You, You alone have I sinned;
I have done what is evil in Your eyes
so that You are just in Your Word,
and without reproach in Your judgment.
Behold, I was born in guilt,
in sin my mother conceived me.
Behold, You desire true sincerity;
and secretly You teach me Wisdom.
Cleanse me with hyssop, that I may be pure;
wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
You will let me hear gladness and joy;
the bones You have crushed will rejoice.
Turn away Your face from my sins;
blot out all my iniquities.
A clean heart create for me, God;
renew within me a steadfast spirit.
Do not drive me from before Your face,
nor take from me Your Holy Spirit.
Restore to me the gladness of Your salvation;
uphold me with a willing spirit.
I will teach the wicked Your ways,
that sinners may return to You.
Rescue me from violent bloodshed, God, my saving God,
and my tongue will sing joyfully of Your justice.
Lord, You will open my lips;
and my mouth will proclaim Your praise.
For You do not desire sacrifice or I would give it;
a burnt offering You would not accept.
My sacrifice, O God, is a contrite spirit;
a contrite, humbled heart, O God, You will not scorn.
Second, pray a prayer of faith …
Psalm 23 – A Psalm of Faith
The Lord is my Shepherd;
there is nothing I lack.
In green pastures He makes me lie down;
to still waters He leads me;
He restores my soul.
He guides me along right paths
for the sake of His Name.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil, for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff comfort me.
You set a table before me
in front of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Indeed, goodness and mercy will pursue me
all the days of my life;
I will dwell in the house of the Lord
for endless days.
Third, pray a prayer of hope …
Psalm 121 – A Psalm of Promise
I raise my eyes toward the mountains.
From whence shall come my help?
My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of Heaven and earth.
He will not allow your foot to slip;
or your guardian to sleep.
Behold, the Guardian of Israel
never slumbers nor sleeps.
The Lord is your Guardian;
the Lord is your shade
at your right hand.
By day the sun will not strike you,
nor the moon by night.
The Lord will guard you from all evil;
He will guard your soul.
The Lord will guard your coming and going
both now and forever.
Finally, end your prayer session with a final Psalm of praise for your Lord who will deliver and answer you:
Psalm 145 – A Psalm of Praise
I will extol You, my God and King;
I will bless Your Name forever and ever.
Every day I will bless You;
I will praise Your Name forever and ever.
Great is the Lord and worthy of much praise,
whose grandeur is beyond understanding.
One generation praises Your deeds to the next
and proclaims Your mighty works.
They speak of the splendor of Your majestic glory,
tell of Your wonderful deeds.
They speak of the power of Your awesome acts
and recount Your great deeds.
They celebrate Your abounding goodness
and joyfully sing of Your justice.
The Lord is gracious and merciful,
slow to anger and abounding in mercy.
The Lord is good to all,
compassionate toward all Your works.
All Your works give You thanks, Lord
and Your faithful bless You.
They speak of the glory of Your reign
and tell of Your mighty works,
Making known to the sons of men Your mighty acts,
the majestic glory of Your rule.
Your reign is a reign for all ages,
Your dominion for all generations.
The Lord is trustworthy in all His words,
and loving in all His works.
The Lord supports all who are falling
and raises up all who are bowed down.
The eyes of all look hopefully to You;
You give them their food in due season.
You open wide Your hand
and satisfy the desire of every living thing.
The Lord is just in all His ways,
merciful in all His works.
The Lord is near to all who call upon Him,
to all who call upon Him in truth.
He fulfills the desire of those who fear Him;
He hears their cry and saves them.
The Lord watches over all who love Him,
but all the wicked He destroys.
My mouth will speak the praises of the Lord;
all flesh will bless His holy Name forever and ever.
