Psalm: 64
Iconography: .God is being praised by angels and men. A hymn god becomes you in syon. God blesses the men beneath in an intimate and physical way: All flesh shall come to thee. He holds one man's hand and rests his feet comfortably on the man's shoulders.Blessed is he who you have chosen and received he shall dwell in your courts. The men are pointing to the words of the text which refer to the hymn of praise.
