He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: For thou art with me;--thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou anointest my head with oil;--my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: And I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
This Bible illustration is a retouched picture, which means that it has been digitally altered from its original version. Modifications: Cleaned up dirt, stains, small hairs, and other flaws due to age, fixed a few very minor misprints in this particular print, e.g. small ink blobs and slightly incomplete letters. The right edge didn't lay entirely flat on the scanner, fixed this. Levels adjustment against original print, some selective work on the text, to correct some fading. One of the inks, a metallicish bronze ink, didn't scan correctly due to its slight shininess, this had to be manually corrected. (luckily, the shininess appears to have been incidental to its colour, given how it was used.. The original can be viewed here: The Sunday at Home 1880 - Psalm 23 original scan.jpg: .
