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
Page | 5 The National Association of Chevra Kadisha, www.nasck.org , 718.849.9700
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
Page | 6 The National Association of Chevra Kadisha, www.nasck.org , 718.849.9700
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
Page | 8 The National Association of Chevra Kadisha, www.nasck.org , 718.849.9700
-
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?
Page | 10 The National Association of Chevra Kadisha, www.nasck.org , 718.849.9700
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;
Page | 11 The National Association of Chevra Kadisha, www.nasck.org , 718.849.9700
--
-
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,
Page | 12 The National Association of Chevra Kadisha, www.nasck.org , 718.849.9700
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
Page | 13 The National Association of Chevra Kadisha, www.nasck.org , 718.849.9700
--- 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
Page | 14 The National Association of Chevra Kadisha, www.nasck.org , 718.849.9700
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.
