Eil Ma-lei Ra-cha-mim

Compassionate God, eternal Spirit of the universe, grant perfect rest in your sheltering presence to
(name)
Who has entered eternity. God of mercy, let him/her find refuge in Your eternal presence, and let his/her soul be bound up in the bond of everlasting life. God is his/her inheritance. May he/she rest in peace, and let us say: Amen

The Twenty-Third Psalm

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures;
He leadeth me beside the still waters;
He restoreth my soul.
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake.
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.
Thou preparest a table before me
in the presence of mine enemies;
Thou anointest my head with oil;
my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life;
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.


May the death of
(name)
Awaken us to this truth:
That the bond of love we shared, will not be severed in sorrow.
May he/she rest in peace, and let us say, Amen

I lift up my eyes to the mountains:
Where will I find my help?
My help is the Eternal One,
Maker of heaven and earth.
God will keep your foot from slipping,
Your Guardian does not slumber.
Behold, the Guardian of Israel
neither slumbers nor sleeps.
The Eternal One is your shield,
The Eternal One is your shade at your side.
The sun will not strike you by day,
nor the moon by night.
The Eternal One is your shield against evil,
the Guardian of your spirit.
The Eternal One is your shield, when you come in and when you go out,
Now and forever.
(Psalm 121)
