What is a good Bible verse for a birthday card?
Numbers 6:24-26 (“Yahweh bless you, and keep you”) is the classic. Psalm 20:4 wishes that God grants “your heart’s desire”, and Philippians 1:3 says thank you for the person.
A birthday verse usually does one of three things: blesses the person, thanks God for them, or marks the passing of another year. The Bible has short, warm verses for each, and several were written as greetings in the first place, like 3 John 1:2 and Philippians 1:3.

Wishes for the year ahead, ready to write in a card.
‘Yahweh bless you, and keep you. Yahweh make his face to shine on you, and be gracious to you. Yahweh lift up his face toward you, and give you peace.’
May He grant you your heart’s desire, and fulfill all your counsel.
Also delight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be healthy, even as your soul prospers.
Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope, in the power of the Holy Spirit.
Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed.
You crown the year with your bounty. Your carts overflow with abundance.
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope in your latter end.
For a friend, a parent or a child.
I thank my God whenever I remember you…
For you formed my inmost being. You knit me together in my mother’s womb. I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well.
Before I formed you in the belly I knew you, and before you came forth out of the womb I sanctified you; I have appointed you a prophet to the nations.
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.
Yahweh, your God, is in the midst of you, a mighty one who will save. He will rejoice over you with joy. He will rest in his love. He will rejoice over you with singing.
This is the day that Yahweh has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it!
For 18ths, 40ths and 90ths alike.
So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
It is of Yahweh’s loving kindnesses that we are not consumed, because his compassion doesn’t fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
And even to old age I am he, and even to gray hairs will I carry you. I have made, and I will bear; yes, I will carry, and will deliver.
The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree. He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon. They are planted in Yahweh’s house. They will flourish in our God’s courts. They will still bring forth fruit in old age. They will be full of sap and green, to show that Yahweh is upright. He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
For by me your days will be multiplied. The years of your life will be increased.
You will show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forevermore.
For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven…
Being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.
