Thankful Scripture Set of 9, Psalm 107:1 KJV Autumn Bible Verse Prints

Nine King James verses about giving thanks make up this autumn set. Each sheet opens with a few words in a heavy condensed headline, such as GIVE THANKS on the Psalm 107:1 sheet, and finishes the verse in a light serif. Five sheets are cream and four are deep terracotta, olive or brown, and every one carries a single flat shape: a striped half sun, an arch, a leaf or a wheat ear. The download has 36 JPGs at 300 DPI and one PDF.

Nine verses about thanks, from the Psalms to Paul

The set gathers thanksgiving from across the Bible. Four sheets come from the Psalms: Psalm 107:1 with its reason for thanks, his mercy endureth for ever; Psalm 118:24 on the day the LORD hath made; Psalm 95:2 on coming before him with thanksgiving; and Psalm 103:2, bless the LORD, O my soul. Deuteronomy 8:10 is the verse behind the Jewish custom of blessing God after a meal, which makes it a natural sheet for a dining room. Paul supplies the other four. Philippians 4:6 sets prayer with thanksgiving against worry, Colossians 3:15 lets the peace of God rule in the heart, Ephesians 5:20 gives thanks always for all things, and 2 Corinthians 9:15 thanks God for his unspeakable gift.

Bold retro type in four autumn colors

Each sheet pairs two typefaces. The first words of the verse are set large in a condensed grotesk, and the rest follows in Cormorant Garamond, with chapter and verse in true small capitals under a short rule. The palette is terracotta, ocher, olive and cream. Five sheets have a cream ground with dark type, and four have a deep ground with cream type, so the set can hang as a checkerboard or split into light and dark groups. One flat retro shape sits beside each headline, a half sun with stripes, an arch, a leaf or a wheat ear, in a contrasting color. All nine share one scanned paper texture, which makes the grounds look like the same stock once printed.

36 files in four ratios, plus one PDF

Every design is supplied in the 2:3, 3:4, 4:5 and 11:14 ratios, giving 36 high-resolution JPGs at 300 DPI. The 2:3 files suit frames from 4x6 up to 24x36 inches, 3:4 runs from 6x8 to 18x24, 4:5 covers 8x10 and 16x20, and 11:14 covers 11x14 and 22x28. One combined PDF holds every sheet in every size, which is useful if you send the whole set to a print shop at once. Matte paper keeps the terracotta and olive grounds deep and free of glare, so choose it over glossy. Staples, FedEx, Walgreens and Walmart all print from uploaded files, and online labs such as Mpix, Printique or Persnickety do as well.

A gratitude wall for fall and Thanksgiving

Nine frames in three rows of three make a full gratitude wall for a dining room or a kitchen with a long open wall. If space is tighter, pick a smaller group: the four deep sheets as a row along a hallway, or three cream sheets above a sideboard for the Thanksgiving table. The verses speak about thanks in general and none of them names a date, so the set can stay up from September through November, and in a kitchen longer still. As a gift it suits a Thanksgiving host or hostess, a housewarming or a first apartment, and it works as church decor or pastor appreciation in the fall. If you want to refresh autumn decor without buying new pieces every year, one download covers it.

The nine sheets

Frequently asked questions

Do I need wall space for all nine?

No. The sheets work in smaller groups too. Three cream sheets fit above a sideboard, the four deep sheets make a strong row in a hallway, and a single sheet such as Deuteronomy 8:10 can hang on its own in a kitchen. Print whichever ones you have frames for and keep the other files for later.

Which sheets are light and which are dark?

Five have a cream ground: This is the day, Giving thanks always, In every thing, Let us come and When thou hast eaten. Four are deep, with Let the peace of God and Bless the LORD on terracotta, O give thanks on olive, and Thanks be unto God on brown.

Is every verse printed in full?

Yes. Each sheet opens with a few words in the bold headline and continues with the rest of the King James verse in serif type, so the whole verse is there. On the Philippians 4:6 sheet, for example, the opening words Be careful for nothing appear in small type above the IN EVERY THING headline.

Can the set stay up after Thanksgiving?

Yes. The verses are about giving thanks in general, and only the palette points to autumn. In a kitchen or dining room the sheets read as everyday Scripture art and can stay up all year. If you prefer seasonal decor, store the prints with the fall things after Thanksgiving and bring them out again next September.

What paper keeps the colors closest to the screen?

A matte or fine-art paper. The terracotta, olive and brown grounds are large areas of solid color, and glossy paper shows glare across them. Every screen and printer renders color a little differently, so print one sheet as a test before the rest, or ask your print shop for a proof.
