Read Psalms 120 in context

Scripture Focus

1In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me.
2Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.
Psalms 120:1-2

Biblical Context

Distress prompts a cry to the LORD, who hears. The psalm asks for deliverance from deceptive inner speech.

Neville's Inner Vision

Distress is not an outer condition but a state of consciousness you entertain in the moment. When you cry unto the LORD, you are turning your attention to the I AM, the living awareness within you that hears even your whispered requests. The word 'deliver' becomes a revision of self-talk: you release the inner soul from lying lips and a deceitful tongue—those two adversaries are the habit of self-talk that contradicts your true nature. They are the stories you recite about limitation, guilt, and failure, voiced as inner words. In this light, hearing means recognizing that your own awareness answers the call; the answer is an already-present health of mind, not a distant rescue. Your distress dissolves as you consent to the truth that you are the I AM, eternal and intact. The prayer is not begging but acknowledgment—the shift in consciousness that makes what you desire appear as your own reality. Thus deliverance is not secured from without but discovered within, as your inner speech aligns with divine possibility.

Practice This Now

Assume you are heard now. Softly repeat, 'I am delivered; I am the I AM,' and feel your inner voice harmonize with truth.
