Psalm: 140
Iconography: Christ leans out from heaven to place a curb on the lips of the psalmist: Lord place a watch on my mouth, the words of the tag. David holds up a book with the caption: Direct my words. In his other hand he holds a censer wafting his prayers to heaven: Let my prayer be counted as incense in your sight.
