The Seven Penitential Psalms The Book of Psalms is the great prayerbook of the Church, even as it has always been for the Jewish people. There is truly a psalm for every occasion in life. Over the centuries, Seven Psalms in particular have been a source of insight and meaning to those in need of repentance, those harrassed by sin, those who need to accuse themselves of sin and turn to God s loving mercy for rescue. In fact, the Church has attached indulgences to these Psalms (as well as others) to encourage the repentant faithful to pray them. In the Handbook of Indulgences we read, A partial indulgence is granted to the faithful who, especially in preparation for sacramental confession: 1 examine their conscience with the purpose of amendment; 2 devoutly recite an act of contrition, according to any legitimate formula ( , the Confiteor, the psalm De profundis [Ps.)]
