Begins the Introit for the First Sunday in Advent, 'Ad te levavi animam meam ...' (All my heart goes out to thee). The Old Testament king David can be identified by his psaltery, the musical instrument placed on the ground in front of him. The psaltery is an allusion to his supposed authorship of the psalms.
