| Psalm: |
11
|
| Iconography: |
Below,
the psalmist asks for help, pointing to the sinner: Save me Lord.
Christ destroys the flattering lips and boastful tongue with
a tau crozier. Destroy lord all deceitful lips: and the boastful
tongue. At the same time he offers a gesture of safety to the
godly oppressed man: I will arise says the lord. I will set him
in salvation

| Art: |
Under
drawing shows the psalmist's finger originally pointed the other way,
towards Christ. A tighter arc was also drawn within the lower bow
of the S. Above, a third man stood behind the poor saved person. There
are some ambiguous designs under the left side of Christ's cloak which
appear more complex than a wavy hem.
