Read Psalms 120 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The psalm voices a plea to be rescued from deceitful speech and the harm of a false tongue. It frames a question about what must happen to the one who uses such deceit.
Neville's Inner Vision
Suppose Psalm 120:2-3 is not asking God to punish others but to awaken the consciousness that uses speech. The verse presents the soul calling for deliverance from lying lips and a deceitful tongue; in Neville's cadence, this is a call to liberate your inner state from self-deception. The lying lips represent the habitual, fearful speech of the ego—stories you tell yourself that distort reality. To be delivered is to revise your inner movement until your outward speech reflects the truth you are in the I AM. The lines become a practical invitation: assume the truth of your unity with God, and imagine your speech aligning with that truth. When you persist in the feeling of I AM as the sovereign presence, the false tongue loses its power and your words become a clear, harmonious expression of truth. Your imagination becomes the instrument by which you heal inner speech; as you dwell in assurance, events in your life emerge as the exterior echo of your inner state.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, rest your hand on your chest, and repeat: 'I AM the truth of my words; I deliver my soul from deceitful lips.' Then revise the inner line to: 'What is given to me comes from the I AM within me,' and feel the confidence that your speech reflects your inner reality.
