 This is said at the grave of a husband or wife.
Beloved Lord of all the world,
Hear my prayer
And welcome it
With Your great mercy and grace.
And allow me to benefit
From the merit
Of all those saintly men
Who are known by their own holy names,
And through the merit of the Torah,
And for their good deeds.
So I have come to this grave
To praise Your holy name,
And prostrate myself upon the grave,
And beg You, Lord of all the world,
To give us long life
In happiness and wealth,
Honor and good fortune,
And good health.
And may we never lack
Food and nourishment,
And may we live long lives
In the Jewish way
Of Torah and good deeds.
And may I fulfill
The desire of my heart,
so when my soul
Is separated from my body,
It may come here to You,
And to the soul of this saintly man / saintly woman
Who lies buried here,
And may it be worthy to rise again
With the souls of other saintly men
And saintly women of Israel.
Amen.
