PSALM XLII (43), f. 25r, the upper picture.
At the left of the picture is an armed group of the 'enemy' against whom the psalmist complains in verses 1 and 2. To their right the personification of 'truth,' bearing a palmbranch, approaches the bearded psalmist, who holds a lute, to lead him to the 'holy hill and to thy tabernacles' (verse 3). Rays issue from a Hand of God in the direction of the psalmist. On the 'holy hill' at the right is a sanctuary with drawn curtains revealing a covered altar and a lamp; and behind it are two tents, variants in illustration of the word 'tabernacles' (verses 3 and 4).
