The National Association of Chevra Kadisha would like to elevate

our community's fulfillment of the mitzvah of Kavod Hameis -

respect for the deceased.

At a funeral, from the point when the casket (Aron) is brought

into the chapel, we request that all present cease their

conversations. Instead, Tehillim will be recited to honor the

memory of and bring merit and comfort to the Neshama of the

deceased.

Your cooperation in maintaining this proper atmosphere of

decorum will mean a great deal to the bereaved family and will

bring our community to a higher level of fulfillment of this very

important Mitzvah.

We thank you for your understanding.


Psalms Chapter 1

--

1 Happy is the man that hath not

walked in the counsel of the wicked,

nor stood in the way of sinners, nor

sat in the seat of the scornful.

2 But his delight is in the law of the

LORD; and in His law doth he

meditate day and night.

-- --

---

-

3 And he shall be like a tree planted

by streams of water,

that bringeth forth its fruit in its

season, and whose leaf doth not

wither; and in whatsoever he doeth he

shall prosper.

- --

4 Not so the wicked; but they are like

the chaff which the wind driveth

away.

----

5 Therefore the wicked shall not

stand in the judgment, nor sinners in

the congregation of the righteous.

-

6 For the LORD regardeth the way of

the righteous; but the way of the

wicked shall perish.

Psalms Chapter 15


-

-

1 A Psalm of David. LORD, who

shall sojourn in Thy tabernacle?

Who shall dwell upon Thy holy

mountain?

2 He that walketh uprightly, and

worketh righteousness, and speaketh

truth in his heart;

-----

--

3 That hath no slander upon his

tongue, nor doeth evil to his fellow,

nor taketh up a reproach against his

neighbour;

-- -

4 In whose eyes a vile person is

despised, but he honoureth them that

fear the LORD; he that sweareth to

his own hurt, and changeth not;

--- -

---

5 He that putteth not out his money

on interest, nor taketh a bribe

against the innocent.

He that doeth these things shall

never be moved.

Psalms Chapter 16

- 1 Michtam of David. Keep me, O

God; for I have taken refuge in


Thee.

-

2 I have said unto the LORD: 'Thou

art my Lord; I have no good but in

Thee';

-

--

3 As for the holy that are in the

earth, they are the excellent in

whom is all my delight.

- --

-

4 Let the idols of them be multiplied

that make suit unto another; their

drink-offerings of blood will I not

offer, nor take their names upon my

lips.

---

5 O LORD, the portion of mine

inheritance and of my cup, Thou

maintainest my lot.

- -

6 The lines are fallen unto me in

pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly

heritage.

--- -

7 I will bless the LORD, who hath

given me counsel; yea, in the night

seasons my reins instruct me.

-

8 I have set the LORD always

before me; surely He is at my right

hand, I shall not be moved.

-- -

9 Therefore my heart is glad, and

my glory rejoiceth; my flesh also


dwelleth in safety;

- -

10 For Thou wilt not abandon my

soul to the nether-world; neither wilt

Thou suffer Thy godly one to see

the pit.

-

11 Thou makest me to know the

path of life; in Thy presence is

fulness of joy, in Thy right hand

bliss for evermore.

Psalms Chapter 20

1 For the Leader. A Psalm of David.

2 The LORD answer thee in the day

of trouble; the name of the God of

Jacob set thee up on high;

- 3 Send forth thy help from the

sanctuary, and support thee out of

Zion;

- 4 Receive the memorial of all thy

meal-offerings, and accept the fat of

thy burnt-sacrifice; Selah

- - 5 Grant thee according to thine own

heart, and fulfil all thy counsel.

-- - 6 We will shout for joy in thy


-

victory, and in the name of our God

we will set up our standards; the

LORD fulfil all thy petitions.

--

--

7 Now know I that the LORD saveth

His anointed;

He will answer him from His holy

heaven with the mighty acts of His

saving right hand.

-

8 Some trust in chariots, and some

in horses; but we will make mention

of the name of the LORD our God.

9 They are bowed down and fallen;

but we are risen, and stand upright.

- 10 Save, LORD; let the King answer

us in the day that we call.

Psalms Chapter 23

1 A Psalm of David. The LORD is

my shepherd; I shall not want.

-

2 He maketh me to lie down in

green pastures; He leadeth me

beside the still waters.

-

3 He restoreth my soul; He guideth

me in straight paths for His name's

sake.

---- 4 Yea, though I walk through the


-

valley of the shadow of death, I will

fear no evil, for Thou art with me;

Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort

me.

--

5 Thou preparest a table before me

in the presence of mine enemies;

Thou hast anointed my head with

oil; my cup runneth over.

-- -

-

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall

follow me all the days of my life;

and I shall dwell in the house of the

LORD for ever.

Psalms Chapter 90

-

--

1 A Prayer of Moses the man of

God. Lord, Thou hast been our

dwelling-place in all generations.

--

-

2 Before the mountains were

brought forth, or ever Thou hadst

formed the earth and the world, even

from everlasting to everlasting,

Thou art God.

-

-

3 Thou turnest man to contrition;

and sayest: 'Return, ye children of

men.'


--

4 For a thousand years in Thy sight

are but as yesterday when it is past,

and as a watch in the night.

5 Thou carriest them away as with a

flood; they are as a sleep; in the

morning they are like grass which

groweth up.

6 In the morning it flourisheth, and

groweth up; in the evening it is cut

down, and withereth.

- 7 For we are consumed in Thine

anger, and by Thy wrath are we

hurried away.

8 Thou hast set our iniquities before

Thee, our secret sins in the light of

Thy countenance.

-

-

9 For all our days are passed away

in Thy wrath; we bring our years to

an end as a tale that is told.

-

--

-

10 The days of our years are

threescore years and ten, or even by

reason of strength fourscore years;

yet is their pride but travail and

vanity; for it is speedily gone, and

we fly away.

- 11 Who knoweth the power of

Thine anger, and Thy wrath

according to the fear that is due unto

Thee?


12 So teach us to number our days,

that we may get us a heart of

wisdom.

- -

13 Return, O LORD; how long?

And let it repent Thee concerning

Thy servants.

-

14 O satisfy us in the morning with

Thy mercy; that we may rejoice and

be glad all our days.

15 Make us glad according to the

days wherein Thou hast afflicted us,

according to the years wherein we

have seen evil.

- -

16 Let Thy work appear unto Thy

servants, and Thy glory upon their

children.

--

17 And let the graciousness of the

Lord our God be upon us; establish

Thou also upon us the work of our

hands; yea, the work of our hands

establish Thou it.

Psalms Chapter 91

1 O thou that dwellest in the covert

of the Most High, and abidest in the

shadow of the Almighty;


--

-

2 I will say of the LORD, who is

my refuge and my fortress, my God,

in whom I trust,

3 That He will deliver thee from the

snare of the fowler, and from the

noisome pestilence.

---

4 He will cover thee with His

pinions, and under His wings shalt

thou take refuge; His truth is a

shield and a buckler.

-

5 Thou shalt not be afraid of the

terror by night, nor of the arrow that

flieth by day;

6 Of the pestilence that walketh in

darkness, nor of the destruction that

wasteth at noonday.

--

7 A thousand may fall at thy side,

and ten thousand at thy right hand; it

shall not come nigh thee.

8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou

behold, and see the recompense of

the wicked.

-

9 For thou hast made the LORD

who is my refuge, even the Most

High, thy habitation.

- - 10 There shall no evil befall thee,


neither shall any plague come nigh

thy tent.

- -

11 For He will give His angels

charge over thee, to keep thee in all

thy ways.

- -

12 They shall bear thee upon their

hands, lest thou dash thy foot

against a stone.

-

13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion

and asp; the young lion and the

serpent shalt thou trample under

feet.

-

14 'Because he hath set his love

upon Me, therefore will I deliver

him; I will set him on high, because

he hath known My name.

---

15 He shall call upon Me, and I will

answer him; I will be with him in

trouble; I will rescue him, and bring

him to honour.

16 With long life will I satisfy him,

and make him to behold My

salvation.

Psalms Chapter 121

1 A Song of Ascents. I will lift up


--- mine eyes unto the mountains: from

whence shall my help come?

-- 2 My help cometh from the LORD,

who made heaven and earth.

- - 3 He will not suffer thy foot to be

moved; He that keepeth thee will

not slumber.

---

4 Behold, He that keepeth Israel

doth neither slumber nor sleep.

- 5 The LORD is thy keeper; the

LORD is thy shade upon thy right

hand.

- 6 The sun shall not smite thee by

day, nor the moon by night.

- -

7 The LORD shall keep thee from

all evil; He shall keep thy soul.

---

-

8 The LORD shall guard thy going

out and thy coming in, from this

time forth and for ever.

Psalms Chapter 130

1 A Song of Ascents. Out of the

depths have I called Thee, O LORD.

--

2 Lord, hearken unto my voice; let

Thine ears be attentive to the voice

of my supplications.

---- 3 If Thou, LORD, shouldest mark


iniquities, O Lord, who could stand?

--- 4 For with Thee there is forgiveness,

that Thou mayest be feared.

5 I wait for the LORD, my soul doth

wait, and in His word do I hope.

--

6 My soul waiteth for the Lord,

more than watchmen for the

morning; yea, more than watchmen

for the morning.

- --

7 O Israel, hope in the LORD; for

with the LORD there is mercy, and

with Him is plenteous redemption.

---

8 And He will redeem Israel from

all his iniquities.

Psalms Chapter 142

1 Maschil of David, when he was in

the cave; a Prayer.

- -

2 With my voice I cry unto the

LORD; with my voice I make

supplication unto the LORD.

3 I pour out my complaint before

Him, I declare before Him my

trouble;

-- 4 When my spirit fainteth within


---

me--Thou knowest my path-- in the

way wherein I walk have they

hidden a snare for me.

-- -

5 Look on my right hand, and see,

for there is no man that knoweth me;

I have no way to flee; no man careth

for my soul.

6 I have cried unto Thee, O LORD;

I have said: 'Thou art my refuge, my

portion in the land of the living.'

--- --

--

7 Attend unto my cry; for I am

brought very low;

deliver me from my persecutors; for

they are too strong for me.

-- -

--

8 Bring my soul out of prison, that I

may give thanks unto Thy name; the

righteous shall crown themselves

because of me; for Thou wilt deal

bountifully with me.
