Multiple rubrications that signal psalm divisions or other sections of the text. Two initials on this page that take up two lines respectively. The one rubricated in red begins on the first line of the left column; the second delineated in blue occupies the twenty-fourth line of text in the same column. A significant amount of the text in the second column is rubricated (lines 14 to 27). This may indicate a part of the psalm that is intended to be spoken aloud as a response to the religious text. No additional adornment or decoration besides the rubrications and their associated abbreviations.
