Psalm 039 (Hebraic, 039).
David: communicating with God -- David, crowned, kneeling on one knee, points to mouth with right hand and holds book in left hand. To right, Christ-Logos, cross-nimbed, raises right hand in blessing and holds book in left hand.
Figures are framed by double arch within initial D decorated with foliate ornament. David is on patterned background, Christ-Logos on gold background.
