PSALM LXXIV (75), f. 43r.
At the bottom of the picture the earth is represented as having become 'liquefacta' and columns are supporting the solid portion of it (verse 4, (3): 'The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it'). Above, on the solid portion, is a large group of the wicked who are trampling the bodies of victims (verse 5, (4)). In the heavens the beardless, cross-nimbed Christ-Logos, flanked by angels, is pouring wine from one cup to another ('ex hoc in hoc,' verse 9, (8)); one of the angels holds a cup, another angel below is pouring out the 'dregs' from a cup upon the group of the wicked just described. To the right, on an elevation, stands the psalmist accompanied by a group of the 'just' (verse 2, (1)). He holds a stag's head surmounted with huge antlers and, with a rod, is 'breaking the horns' of another stag's head which is held by one of the wicked at the right (verse 6, (5) and 11, (10)). The relative positions of this 'wicked' man and of the psalmist are suggested by the phrase 'but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.'
