“Salvation Psalm”

Psalm 118: 13, 14: “You pushed me violently so that I was falling, but the Lord helped me. The Lord is my strength and song, and He has become my salvation.” So, this psalm means that, although men tried to stone St. Stephen, they failed and he escaped. No, that’s not the story in Acts 7. This means that, although they killed the body, the strength of Stephen’s heart, the song of his spirit, just like that of Jesus, was love and forgiveness for his persecutors. That spells salvation every time.
