Psalm 148 (Vulg., 148):
Christ-Logos, rayed cross as nimbus, flanked by angels, seated on arc of heaven, raises right hand and holds globe, surmounted by cross, in left hand. Sun and moon appear behind him. Below, crowd of figures kneel, hands joined in prayer, raising heads toward Christ-Logos. In background is landscape with hills and buildings.
