Psalm 23 (King James Version)

Psalm 23


 1The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.


 2He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.


 3He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.


 4Yea, 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.


 5Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.



 6Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

El Moley Rachamin

God full of mercy who dwells on high
Grant perfect rest on the wings of Your Divine Presence
In the lofty heights of the holy and pure
who shine as the brightness of the heavens
to the soul of __________

who has gone to his eternal rest
as all his family and friends
pray for the elevation of his soul.
His resting place shall be in the Garden of Eden.
Therefore, the Master of mercy will care for him
under the protection of His wings for all time
And bind his soul in the bond of everlasting life.
God is his inheritance and he will rest in peace
and let us say Amen.
