Inscription (Eng)SACRED TO THE MEMORY OF
ISAAC SIMON EZRA LEVY
WHO DIED 5TH MAY 1915 AGED 52 YEARS.
MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PEACE

LIGHT OF THY OWN SHALL ILLUMINE OBSCURITY,
AND THY DEEP DARKNESS SHALL BE AS NOONDAY;
THE ETERNAL SHALL EXTEND HIS EVERLASTING PEACE TO THEE,
AND HE SHALL FILL THY SOUL WITH THE MOST SUBLIME,
AND PRESERVE THY PERSONALITY:
AND THOU SHALT BE LIKE A WATERED GARDEN,
AND LIKE A SPRING OF WATER WHOSE WATERS FAIL NOT.

BLESS THE ETERNAL, O SOUL; AND FORGET NOT ALL HIS BENEFITS;
WHO FORGIVETH ALL THINE INIQUITIES: WHO HEALETH ALL THY DISEASES;
WHO REDEEMETH THY LIFE FROM DESTRUCTION;
WHO CROWNETH THEE WITH LOVING KINDNESS AND TENDER MERCIES;
WHO SATISFIETH THY REQUIREMENTS WITH GOOD THINGS;
SO THAT THY YOUTH IS RENEWED LIKE THE EAGLES.
Inscription (Heb)מצבת קבורת ה״מ יצחק שמעון עזרא הלוי נ״ע נ״פ יום ד׳ כ״א ל׳ח׳ו׳ אייר שנת ה׳ת׳ר׳ע׳ה׳ והיו ימיו נ״ב שנה ת׳נ׳צ׳ב׳ה׳

וזרח בחן ושד אורך ואפלתך בצהרים ונכד ה׳ תמיד והשביע בצחצחות נפשיך ועצמותיך יחליץ והיה כגן רוח וכמוצא מים אשר לא יכזבו מימין

ברכי נפשי אש ה׳ ואל תשכחי זל גמוליך הסולך לכל עונכי הרפה לכל בחלואיכי הגואל משחת חייכי המעטרכי חסד ורחמים המשביע בטוב עציך תתחדש כנשר נעוריכי
