IN DEO FACIEMUS VIRTUTEM ET IPSE AD NIHILUM DEDUCET TRIBULANTES NOS. PS.59

Pss 59.14: In Deo faciemus virtutem et ipse ad nihilum deducet tribulantes nos (59.14: Through God we shall do mightily: and he shall bring to nothing them that afflict us).

Here, too, the battle of the Israelites against their enemies serves as a typological counterpart of the Holy Roman Emperor's war against the Turks. This struggle was waged under the protection and shield of God. The central oblong shield of faith34 decorated with the sign of the cross was to be worn in battle; hence the belt or straps. Behind the shield are two palm fronds signifying certain victory. Hoefnagel's pictorial language here reflects the iconography of the militant Ignatius Loyola and the Jesuit order, which portrayed life as military service for the Catholic church.

An obelisk — symbol of imperturbability35 — at each side of the composition supports a sword whose hilt is decorated with the colors of the house of Austria, red and white. Representing justice,30 these weapons simultaneously refer to the imperial insignia of the sword of state, just as they do on folio 130V. Their decoration with laurel wreaths signifies the emperor's fame. The two broken arrows crossed behind the swords are meant as trophies of his victory, for, according to the second part of the biblical verse, enemies are defeated with the help of God. The one-headed eagle enthroned between the two swords refers to Rudolf II.
