Ilan Ben Moshe

If 30 days have elapsed since one’s last visit to a cemetery,
the following blessing is recited on arrival:
Blessed are You, God our Lord, King of the universe, Who created you [who lie here] in judgment, nourished you in judgment, sustained you in judgment, and brought you to death in judgment. He knows the number of you all and He will eventually resurrect you and maintain you in judgment. Blessed are You God, Who resurrects the dead.
You are mighty forever, my God; You resurrect the dead; You are abundant in salvation. He sustains the living with kindness, resurrects the dead with great mercy, supports those who fall, heals the sick, frees the bound, and fulfills His trust to those who sleep in the dust. Who is like You, mighty One! And who can be compared to You, O King, who brings death and restores life, and causes deliverance to sprout forth! And You are faithful to resurrect the dead.
The following passage is then read:
For all the above we are obligated to thankfully acknowledge You and proclaim the oneness of Your great, mighty, and awesome name. There is none who can be compared to You, God our Lord, in this world; and there is nothing other than You, our King, in the life of the World to Come. There is nothing apart from You, our Redeemer, in the days of Mashiach; and there is none like You, our Deliverer, in the era of the Resurrection of the Dead.

Psalms 33

(1) Sing forth, O you righteous, to the LORD; it is fit that the upright acclaim Him. (2) Praise the LORD with the lyre; with the ten-stringed harp sing to Him; (3) sing Him a new song; play sweetly with shouts of joy. (4) For the word of the LORD is right; His every deed is faithful. (5) He loves what is right and just; the earth is full of the LORD’s faithful care. (6) By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, by the breath of His mouth, all their host. (7) He heaps up the ocean waters like a mound, stores the deep in vaults. (8) Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the inhabitants of the world dread Him. (9) For He spoke, and it was; He commanded, and it endured. (10) The LORD frustrates the plans of nations, brings to naught the designs of peoples. (11) What the LORD plans endures forever, what He designs, for ages on end. (12) Happy the nation whose God is the LORD, the people He has chosen to be His own. (13) The LORD looks down from heaven; He sees all mankind. (14) From His dwelling-place He gazes on all the inhabitants of the earth— (15) He who fashions the hearts of them all, who discerns all their doings. (16) Kings are not delivered by a large force; warriors are not saved by great strength; (17) horses are a false hope for deliverance; for all their great power they provide no escape. (18) Truly the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him, who wait for His faithful care (19) to save them from death, to sustain them in famine. (20) We set our hope on the LORD, He is our help and shield; (21) in Him our hearts rejoice, for in His holy name we trust. (22) May we enjoy, O LORD, Your faithful care, as we have put our hope in You.

Psalms 16

(1) A michtam of David. Protect me, O God, for I seek refuge in You. (2) I say to the LORD, “You are my Lord, my benefactor; there is none above You.” (3) As to the holy and mighty ones that are in the land, my whole desire concerning them is that (4) those who espouse another [god] may have many sorrows! I will have no part of their bloody libations; their names will not pass my lips. (5) The LORD is my allotted share and portion; You control my fate. (6) Delightful country has fallen to my lot; lovely indeed is my estate. (7) I bless the LORD who has guided me; my conscience admonishes me at night. (8) I am ever mindful of the LORD’s presence; He is at my right hand; I shall never be shaken. (9) So my heart rejoices, my whole being exults, and my body rests secure. (10) For You will not abandon me to Sheol, or let Your faithful one see the Pit. (11) You will teach me the path of life. In Your presence is perfect joy; delights are ever in Your right hand.

Psalms 17

(1) A prayer of David. Hear, O LORD, what is just; heed my cry, give ear to my prayer, uttered without guile. (2) My vindication will come from You; Your eyes will behold what is right. (3) You have visited me at night, probed my mind, You have tested me and found nothing amiss; I determined that my mouth should not transgress. (4) As for man’s dealings, in accord with the command of Your lips, I have kept in view the fate of the lawless. (5) My feet have held to Your paths; my legs have not given way. (6) I call on You; You will answer me, God; turn Your ear to me, hear what I say. (7) Display Your faithfulness in wondrous deeds, You who deliver with Your right hand those who seek refuge from assailants. (8) Guard me like the apple of Your eye; hide me in the shadow of Your wings (9) from the wicked who despoil me, my mortal enemies who encircle me. (10) Their hearts are closed to pity; they mouth arrogance; (11) now they hem in our feet on every side; they set their eyes roaming over the land. (12) He is like a lion eager for prey, a king of beasts lying in wait. (13) Rise, O LORD! Go forth to meet him. Bring him down; rescue me from the wicked with Your sword, (14) from men, O LORD, with Your hand, from men whose share in life is fleeting. But as to Your treasured ones, fill their bellies. Their sons too shall be satisfied, and have something to leave over for their young. (15) Then I, justified, will behold Your face; awake, I am filled with the vision of You.

Psalms 72

(1) Of Solomon. O God, endow the king with Your judgments, the king’s son with Your righteousness; (2) that he may judge Your people rightly, Your lowly ones, justly. (3) Let the mountains produce well-being for the people, the hills, the reward of justice. (4) Let him champion the lowly among the people, deliver the needy folk, and crush those who wrong them. (5) Let them fear You as long as the sun shines, while the moon lasts, generations on end. (6) Let him be like rain that falls on a mown field, like a downpour of rain on the ground, (7) that the righteous may flourish in his time, and well-being abound, till the moon is no more. (8) Let him rule from sea to sea, from the river to the ends of the earth. (9) Let desert-dwellers kneel before him, and his enemies lick the dust. (10) Let kings of Tarshish and the islands pay tribute, kings of Sheba and Seba offer gifts. (11) Let all kings bow to him, and all nations serve him. (12) For he saves the needy who cry out, the lowly who have no helper. (13) He cares about the poor and the needy; He brings the needy deliverance. (14) He redeems them from fraud and lawlessness; the shedding of their blood weighs heavily upon him. (15) So let him live, and receive gold of Sheba; let prayers for him be said always, blessings on him invoked at all times. (16) Let abundant grain be in the land, to the tops of the mountains; let his crops thrive like the forest of Lebanon; and let men sprout up in towns like country grass. (17) May his name be eternal; while the sun lasts, may his name endure; let men invoke his blessedness upon themselves; let all nations count him happy. (18) Blessed is the LORD God, God of Israel, who alone does wondrous things; (19) Blessed is His glorious name forever; His glory fills the whole world. Amen and Amen. (20) End of the prayers of David son of Jesse.

Psalms 91

(1) O you who dwell in the shelter of the Most High and abide in the protection of Shaddai— (2) I say of the LORD, my refuge and stronghold, my God in whom I trust, (3) that He will save you from the fowler’s trap, from the destructive plague. (4) He will cover you with His pinions; you will find refuge under His wings; His fidelity is an encircling shield. (5) You need not fear the terror by night, or the arrow that flies by day, (6) the plague that stalks in the darkness, or the scourge that ravages at noon. (7) A thousand may fall at your left side, ten thousand at your right, but it shall not reach you. (8) You will see it with your eyes, you will witness the punishment of the wicked. (9) Because you took the LORD—my refuge, the Most High—as your haven, (10) no harm will befall you, no disease touch your tent. (11) For He will order His angels to guard you wherever you go. (12) They will carry you in their hands lest you hurt your foot on a stone. (13) You will tread on cubs and vipers; you will trample lions and asps. (14) “Because he is devoted to Me I will deliver him; I will keep him safe, for he knows My name. (15) When he calls on Me, I will answer him; I will be with him in distress; I will rescue him and make him honored; (16) I will let him live to a ripe old age, and show him My salvation.”

Psalms 104

(1) Bless the LORD, O my soul; O LORD, my God, You are very great; You are clothed in glory and majesty, (2) wrapped in a robe of light; You spread the heavens like a tent cloth. (3) He sets the rafters of His lofts in the waters, makes the clouds His chariot, moves on the wings of the wind. (4) He makes the winds His messengers, fiery flames His servants. (5) He established the earth on its foundations, so that it shall never totter. (6) You made the deep cover it as a garment; the waters stood above the mountains. (7) They fled at Your blast, rushed away at the sound of Your thunder, (8) —mountains rising, valleys sinking— to the place You established for them. (9) You set bounds they must not pass so that they never again cover the earth. (10) You make springs gush forth in torrents; they make their way between the hills, (11) giving drink to all the wild beasts; the wild asses slake their thirst. (12) The birds of the sky dwell beside them and sing among the foliage. (13) You water the mountains from Your lofts; the earth is sated from the fruit of Your work. (14) You make the grass grow for the cattle, and herbage for man’s labor that he may get food out of the earth— (15) wine that cheers the hearts of men oil that makes the face shine, and bread that sustains man’s life. (16) The trees of the LORD drink their fill, the cedars of Lebanon, His own planting, (17) where birds make their nests; the stork has her home in the junipers. (18) The high mountains are for wild goats; the crags are a refuge for rock-badgers. (19) He made the moon to mark the seasons; the sun knows when to set. (20) You bring on darkness and it is night, when all the beasts of the forests stir. (21) The lions roar for prey, seeking their food from God. (22) When the sun rises, they come home and couch in their dens. (23) Man then goes out to his work, to his labor until the evening. (24) How many are the things You have made, O LORD; You have made them all with wisdom; the earth is full of Your creations. (25) There is the sea, vast and wide, with its creatures beyond number, living things, small and great. (26) There go the ships, and Leviathan that You formed to sport with. (27) All of them look to You to give them their food when it is due. (28) Give it to them, they gather it up; open Your hand, they are well satisfied; (29) hide Your face, they are terrified; take away their breath, they perish and turn again into dust; (30) send back Your breath, they are created, and You renew the face of the earth. (31) May the glory of the LORD endure forever; may the LORD rejoice in His works! (32) He looks at the earth and it trembles; He touches the mountains and they smoke. (33) I will sing to the LORD as long as I live; all my life I will chant hymns to my God. (34) May my prayer be pleasing to Him; I will rejoice in the LORD. (35) May sinners disappear from the earth, and the wicked be no more. Bless the LORD, O my soul. Hallelujah.

Psalms 130

(1) A song of ascents. Out of the depths I call You, O LORD. (2) O Lord, listen to my cry; let Your ears be attentive to my plea for mercy. (3) If You keep account of sins, O LORD, Lord, who will survive? (4) Yours is the power to forgive so that You may be held in awe. (5) I look to the LORD; I look to Him; I await His word. (6) I am more eager for the Lord than watchmen for the morning, watchmen for the morning. (7) O Israel, wait for the LORD; for with the LORD is steadfast love and great power to redeem. (8) It is He who will redeem Israel from all their iniquities.

Psalms 119

(1) Happy are those whose way is blameless, who follow the teaching of the LORD. (2) Happy are those who observe His decrees, who turn to Him wholeheartedly. (3) They have done no wrong, but have followed His ways. (4) You have commanded that Your precepts be kept diligently. (5) Would that my ways were firm in keeping Your laws; (6) then I would not be ashamed when I regard all Your commandments. (7) I will praise You with a sincere heart as I learn Your just rules. (8) I will keep Your laws; do not utterly forsake me.

(73) Your hands made me and fashioned me; give me understanding that I may learn Your commandments. (74) Those who fear You will see me and rejoice, for I have put my hope in Your word. (75) I know, O LORD, that Your rulings are just; rightly have You humbled me. (76) May Your steadfast love comfort me in accordance with Your promise to Your servant. (77) May Your mercy reach me, that I might live, for Your teaching is my delight. (78) Let the insolent be dismayed, for they have wronged me without cause; I will study Your precepts. (79) May those who fear You, those who know Your decrees, turn again to me. (80) May I wholeheartedly follow Your laws so that I do not come to grief.

(89) The LORD exists forever; Your word stands firm in heaven. (90) Your faithfulness is for all generations; You have established the earth, and it stands. (91) They stand this day to [carry out] Your rulings, for all are Your servants. (92) Were not Your teaching my delight I would have perished in my affliction. (93) I will never neglect Your precepts, for You have preserved my life through them. (94) I am Yours; save me! For I have turned to Your precepts. (95) The wicked hope to destroy me, but I ponder Your decrees. (96) I have seen that all things have their limit, but Your commandment is broad beyond measure.

(105) Your word is a lamp to my feet, a light for my path. (106) I have firmly sworn to keep Your just rules. (107) I am very much afflicted; O LORD, preserve me in accordance with Your word. (108) Accept, O LORD, my freewill offerings; teach me Your rules. (109) Though my life is always in danger, I do not neglect Your teaching. (110) Though the wicked have set a trap for me, I have not strayed from Your precepts. (111) Your decrees are my eternal heritage; they are my heart’s delight. (112) I am resolved to follow Your laws to the utmost forever.

(161) Princes have persecuted me without reason; my heart thrills at Your word. (162) I rejoice over Your promise as one who obtains great spoil. (163) I hate and abhor falsehood; I love Your teaching. (164) I praise You seven times each day for Your just rules. (165) Those who love Your teaching enjoy wellbeing; they encounter no adversity. (166) I hope for Your deliverance, O LORD; I observe Your commandments. (167) I obey Your decrees and love them greatly. (168) I obey Your precepts and decrees; all my ways are before You.

(97) O how I love Your teaching! It is my study all day long. (98) Your commandments make me wiser than my enemies; they always stand by me. (99) I have gained more insight than all my teachers, for Your decrees are my study. (100) I have gained more understanding than my elders, for I observe Your precepts. (101) I have avoided every evil way so that I may keep Your word. (102) I have not departed from Your rules, for You have instructed me. (103) How pleasing is Your word to my palate, sweeter than honey. (104) I ponder Your precepts; therefore I hate every false way.

(33) Teach me, O LORD, the way of Your laws; I will observe them to the utmost. (34) Give me understanding, that I may observe Your teaching and keep it wholeheartedly. (35) Lead me in the path of Your commandments, for that is my concern. (36) Turn my heart to Your decrees and not to love of gain. (37) Avert my eyes from seeing falsehood; by Your ways preserve me. (38) Fulfill Your promise to Your servant, which is for those who worship You. (39) Remove the taunt that I dread, for Your rules are good. (40) See, I have longed for Your precepts; by Your righteousness preserve me.
