Inner Peace Beyond War of Speech

Psalms 120:3-7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Psalms 120 in context

Scripture Focus

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.
5Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!
6My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.
7I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.
Psalms 120:3-7

Biblical Context

Plainly, the speaker confronts the harm of a false tongue and a life among those who hate peace, while longing for peace; yet speech seems to invite conflict. The tension is between inner desire for peace and outward warlike expression.

Neville's Inner Vision

I tell you you are not at war with others but with images within. The false tongue is the old self habit of naming blaming and projecting. The arrows of the mighty with coals of juniper symbolize hot thoughts burning through your mental air, making you see enemies where there are only possibilities for growth. When it says Woe is me that I sojourn in Mesech, it is the confession that you have allowed your consciousness to dwell in a land of estrangement from peace. The remedy is not to change others but to revise your inner speech and assume a new identity: I AM the peace you seek, and now you speak from peace, thus you draw peace to you. If you imagine your environment filled with calm and feel that your words carry healing rather than attack, the outer scene will shift to mirror your inner state. Your soul longs for peace; when you align your speech with that longing you dissolve the warlike energy and become a constant sowing of peace with every thought and word.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes, breathe into a calm center, and repeat I AM peace now, feeling it as a living reality in your chest; then picture your words leaving your mouth as gentle light, dissolving conflict in your surroundings.
