Text: Psalm 23
Psalm 23, written by King David, originated in Old Testament times. In this version (my other one is titled Psalm 23) there is a distinct metrical, made-for-a-hymn cadence. It is in the 1659 Scottish Psalter and was written by Francis Rous. Francis, born at Halton, Cornwall (1579-1659), was educated at Oxford and became a lawyer. I used my go-to painting surface, Arches cold press, for both the lettering and the painting.
