In the second miniature David kneels in prayer
before an altar.
This painting introduces Psalm CXXIII,
a hymn of thanksgiving for divine protection: "Blessed
be the Lord, who hath not given us to be a prey to
their teeth."
The open door looks from the church
onto a medieval street lined with narrow houses.
