I notice a mistake in the section: four cardinal virtues. The sculptures represent Truth, Compassion, Peace and Justice while the cardinal virtues represent Prudence, Justice, Temperance and Courage. In his book about the sculptures on the west front, Øystein Ekroll talk about the "divine sisters" for these statues (Translated from Norwegian; I only have this version). Based on this book, and other research I have done, I would rather describe the sculptures as follows:

''The four virtue represent Truth, Compassion, Peace and Justice. They were early regarded as associated, and therefore presented as four sisters (“the divine sisters”). This can be found in the 85th psalm from the Book of Psalms, composed by the sons of Korah: “Mercy and truth will meet together, justice and peace embrace together”.''

Ekroll refers to David's psalm. According to my research, the psalm was referred as the psalm, written by the sons of Korah. I am uncertain if David's psalms is another name for the Book of Psalms. JacquelineFloch (talk) 14:28, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
