The Brezhaner Rebbe Rabbi Avrohom Zorach Aryeh Yehuda Leibish points out in sefer Imrei Yehuda that the word "ashrei" has the same gemtria as "selicha-mechila-kappara." This is the idea of Tehilim, to be ashrei, Hashem grants us selicha mechila and kappara.
The Imrei Yehuda explains that every word of Tehilim is very powerful and effective and brings selicha mechila and kappara. The very first word of Tehilim accomplishes this, in one word, and it is the first word containing all the words, and this characteristic is also true of all the words following it.
Ashreinu mah tov chelkeinu umah naim goraleiu umah yafa yerushateinu
Saying Tehilim, even one word, just one word and the whole world and everything is new brand new totally new with force and vitality and every sort of good and blessing there is. Baruch Hashem, Hodu LaHashem Ki Tov Ki LOlam Chasdo. Givald, just to say one word Tehilim, just to say one kepitel! This is like our holy revered Sages teach us that if we only even began to comprehend and know the true power of Tehilim we would always have the words of Tehilim on our tongues and lips. May Hashem Yisborach consider it as if every Jew together as one says and sings every word of Tehilim, and may Hashem Yisborach, Chai Olamim, Adon HaKol, Tzur Yisroel VGoalo consider all of our tefilos as if Dovid Melech Yisroel Chai VeKayam the sweet singer of Israel sings them and His Eved Neeman Moshe Rabbeinu says them before Him. May the merit of all the true Tzaddikim in every generation protect Klal Yisroel forever in all the worlds.
Blessed is Hashem and His Great Name Forever and Ever.
Ashrei HaAm SheKacha Lo Ashrei HaAm SheHashem Elokav.
