Can anyone suggest a nice psalm for a funeral ...?

Psalm 16

(This is) the secret of David.

v1 Keep me safe, my God, because I come to you for help.

v2 I said to the LORD, You are my Lord.

All the good things in my life come from you.

v3 I have great pleasure in the saints on earth.

It is they that do such good things.

v4 But people that run after other (gods) will be sorry.

They will be more than sorry.

I will not offer gifts of blood (to other gods) with them.

I will not even say the names of these (other gods).

v5 You, LORD, chose my part and my cup.

You make safe what is mine.

v6 The lines fell to me in a pleasing place.

(Or, You chose a part for me that is very pleasing.)

Yes. My part is really very beautiful.

v7 I will say how great the LORD is. He is my teacher.

In the dark nights my feelings also teach me.

v8 I kept the LORD always in front of me.

With him at my right hand nobody will move me.

v9 My heart is happy. My mouth is always singing.

My body will be safe when I sleep.

v10 You will not send me to Sheol.

You will not let your holy one see the Pit.

v11 You will show me the path of life.

With you I will enjoy myself a lot.

At your right hand there is pleasure for ever.

Psalms 91

v1 Whoever stays in the secret place of the *Most High

will remain under the shadow of the *Almighty.

v2 I will say to the *LORD,

"(You are) my safe place and my strong *castle.

(You are) my God and I am *trusting in you".

v3 He (God) really will save you from the *trap that the *bird-catcher (hid).

And (God will save you) from illnesses that cause death.

v4 He will cover you with his *feathers.

You will be safe under his *wings.

(God) will do what he promised.

And he will be like big and small *shields over you.

v5, v6 Do not be afraid of:

· *bad spirits at night,

· or the *arrow that flies in the day,

· or illnesses that come when it is dark,

· or something bad that may destroy you at midday.

v7 A thousand (people) may die by your side.

Ten thousand (people may die) by your right hand.

But (the danger) will not come near to you.

v8 Your eyes will see it and watch,

while it destroys bad people.

v9, v10 For you, *LORD, make me safe.

(Because) the Most High is your home,

bad things will not happen to you.

And there will be no fighting near where you live.

v11 For (God) will tell his *angels what to do for you.

They will make you safe everywhere that you go.

v12 Their hands will give you help

so that you will not (even) hurt your feet on a stone.

v13 You will walk on the *lion and the *cobra.

The young lion and the *serpent will be under your feet.

v14 (God says) I will make the person safe that loves me.

Danger will not hurt him that knows (and trusts in) my name.

v15 He will pray to me and I will answer him.

When he has trouble, I will be with him.

I will save him and make him famous.

v16 I will make him happy with a long life.

He will enjoy what I will do for him.

its not a psalm but I like Paul's:

1Cr 15:51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

1Cr 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

1Cr 15:53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal [must] put on immortality.

1Cr 15:54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

1Cr 15:55 O death, where [is] thy sting? O grave, where [is] thy victory?

1Cr 15:56 The sting of death [is] sin; and the strength of sin [is] the law.

1Cr 15:57 But thanks [be] to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

1Cr 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
