PSALM LXXVI (77), f. 44r.
At the left the bearded psalmist is represented as troubled (verses 3-4, (2-3)) and as gazing at the wonders of the Lord in the heavens. Above him is the personified moon surrounded by the stars representing the 'night' (verse 7, (6)). In the center of the heavens the beardless, cross-nimbed Christ-Logos, holding a scroll in one hand, walks within an elliptical mandorla flanked by four angels. At the base of the mandorla is a wheel, a literal representation of the Latin 'rota' of verse 19, (18)). To the right are five personifications of the 'voice of thy thunder' as winds, together with four angels who are holding 'thine arrows' (verses 18-19, (17-18)). In the lower register the hosts of the children of Israel are led by Moses and Aaron to the edge of the Red Sea, Moses striking the waters with a rod (verses 20-21, (19-20)). On the water is a boat filled with men. Fishes and reptiles are swimming in the sea.
