Prayer for Blessing

Psalm 19:12-13

But who can discern their own errors?

 Forgive my hidden faults.

    Keep your servant also from willful sins;

 may they not rule over me.

 Then I will be blameless,

 innocent of great transgression.

Psalm 51:1-10

Have mercy  on me, O God,

 according to your unfailing love;

 according to your great compassion

 blot out  my transgressions.

    Wash away  all my iniquity

 and cleanse  me from my sin.

    For I know my transgressions,

 and my sin is always before me.

    Against you, you only, have I sinned

 and done what is evil in your sight;

 so you are right in your verdict

 and justified when you judge.

    Surely I was sinful  at birth,

 sinful from the time my mother conceived me.

    Yet you desired faithfulness even in the womb;

 you taught me wisdom  in that secret place.

    Cleanse  me with hyssop,  and I will be clean;

 wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.

    Let me hear joy and gladness;

 let the bones  you have crushed rejoice.

    Hide your face from my sins

 and blot out  all my iniquity.

    Create in me a pure heart,  O God,

 and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
