Read Psalms 120 in context

Scripture Focus

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 120:2-4

Biblical Context

The psalm asks God to deliver the soul from lying lips and a deceitful tongue; it hints that deceitful speech invites judgment and a purifying response.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Neville's parlance, the verse reveals that every tongue and every speech is a state of consciousness. 'Lying lips' are not a culprit out there but a mode of awareness that has forgotten the I AM. Deliverance comes not by changing others but by waking to the truth that I AM rules my inner weather. The 'deceitful tongue' is the habit of narrating limitation, a thought-form that tells me I am at the mercy of appearances. When I imagine myself free, that imaginative act alters the landscape: the arrows and coals become catalysts, fierce thoughts refined into pure light by the heat of attention. The line 'What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?' becomes a turning question—what belief about myself am I willing to revoke in favor of the reality I choose? I am protected by the enduring power of consciousness; as I dwell in the I AM, the hostile sound fades, and truth emerges as my experience. Deliverance is not a distant event but a present inner state I inhabit and affirm.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Assume the feeling of being delivered from false speech now; repeat 'I AM delivered from lying lips' until it feels real, then revise lingering fear into gratitude.
