Psalm I, "Blessed is the man who hath not walked in the counsel of the ungodly," is introduced hy a harmonious miniature in which the Limbourgs have represented King David kneeling before an altar, caressing the strings of a harp, and looking heavenward while he sings.
Two of the faithful, seated on benches behind him, follow the text in their books.
The scene is set in a flamboyant Gothic chapel in which very thin colonettes support a delicately trefoiled arcade.
