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.
3What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?
4Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.
Psalms 120:1-4

Biblical Context

In distress, the speaker cries to the LORD and seeks deliverance from lying lips and a deceitful tongue. The psalm ends with a sharp image of arrows and juniper fire, intensifying the cry for spiritual rescue.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your present distress reveals not merely external trouble but an inner state you have assumed as real. When you cry, 'LORD, hear me,' you are really addressing the I AM within—the constant awareness that remains untouched by circumstances. The lying lips and deceitful tongue are habitual self-talks that bend your world to false impressions; they are not enemies in time but propositions of consciousness you have rehearsed. The line 'What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?' becomes a call to revise the inner dialogue: if you imagine your life already formed by your deepest convictions, the false tongue loses its power. The 'sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper' symbolize aggressive thoughts that would scorch your peace; resting in the I AM, you fire back with quiet certainty instead, letting the flame burn out in the light of true perception. Deliverance, then, is not struggle but alignment: you assume the state of being heard by the I AM, and your world re-aligns to that truth.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit quietly, close your eyes, and in present tense declare, 'I AM heard.' Then revise the inner voice to truth and feel the deliverance as your awareness settles the room.
