PSALM LXXXV (86), f. 50r.
In the center of the heavens, the youthful psalmist (?) as king points with one hand to a 'poor and needy' man holding a stick and wallet and standing under a tree (verse 1), and with the other hand appeals to the beardless, cross-nimbed Christ-Logos holding a cross-staff who 'bows down' His ear to him. To the left behind David are 'all they that call upon thee' (verse 5). In the lower register two heathen idols are set upon an elaborate three-storied pedestal ('Among the gods there is none like unto thee,' verse 8). To the left of this structure an armed group of the enemy is confounded (verse 17); and on the opposite side a huge fiery pit with a representation of Death among demons and victims is set in the side of a hill (verse 13).
