Jewish Psalms for Funeral Speeches:
Psalm 91
O you who dwell in the shelter of the Most High and abide in the protection of Shaddai - I say of the LORD, my refuge and stronghold, my God in whom I trust, that He will save you from the fowler's trap, from the destructive plague.
He will cover you with His pinions:
you will find refuge under His wings;
His fidelity is an encircling shield.
You need not fear the terror by night,
or the arrow that flies by day,
the plague that stalks in the darkness,
or the scourge that ravages at noon.
A thousand may fall at your left side,
ten thousand at your right,
but it shall not reach you.
You will see it with your eyes,
you will witness the punishment of the wicked.
Because you took the LORD - my refuge,
the Most High - as your haven,
no harm will befall you,
no disease touch your tent
For He will order His angels
to guard you wherever you go.
They will carry you in their hands
lest you hurt your foot on a stone.
You will tread on cubs and vipers;
you will trample lions and asps.
"Because he is devoted to Me I will deliver him; I will keep him safe, for he knows My name.
When he calls on Me, I will answer him;
I will be with him in distress;
I will rescue him and make him honored;
I will let him live to a ripe old age,
and show him My salvation." .
Excerpt from Psalm 91
