PSALM LXXXVII (88), f. 51r.
The beardless, cross-nimbed Christ-Logos holding a book and attended by six angels, one wingless, and by personifications of the sun and moon ('I have cried day and night before thee,' verse 2, (1)) is seated upon a globe 'inclining his ear' (verse 3, (2)) towards the leprous psalmist (verse 4, (3)). The psalmist extends his arms to the Christ-Logos (verse 10, (9)) while standing in a sarcophagus placed in a pit (verse 2, (1), 4, (3) and 7, (6)) into which three streams issuing from springs are flowing (verse 8, (7) and 18, (17)). Five other sarcophagi containing corpses (5-7, (4-6)) lie outside the pit. To the right is a group of angels with winds (verse 17, (16)); and below them the psalmist's 'friends and acquaintances' are turning away from him and are 'standing afar off' (verses 9, (8) and 19, (18)). At the left is a monstrous Death in a fiery Hell in which those 'that go down into the pit' (verse 5, (4)) are being tortured by demons.
