This I know, for God is with me.
In God have I put my trust, I will not fear;
What can man do unto me?
Thy vows are upon me, O God!
I will pay my thank-offerings unto thee:
For thou deliveredst my soul from death,
My foot from falling,
That I may walk before God in the land of the living?
Ps. lvi. 10-14.
The guide was not willing to remain till midnight in this place, and gave the signal for departure. The alarm into which they had just been thrown, the terrors of their fellow-travellers, and the tumult of departure, were unable to turn the minds of Helon and Elisama from the glories of the age of Solomon, and they rehearsed together the following psalm, which, composed primarily in his honour, was supposed to carry also a secret reference to one much greater than Solomon.
