Read Psalms 31 in context

Scripture Focus

17Let me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave.
18Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.
Psalms 31:17-18

Biblical Context

Psalm 31:17-18 declares that God vindicates the righteous and silences the boasts of the wicked. It invites the faithful to trust divine justice and to quiet the voice of falsehood by upholding truth inwardly.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the verse as the law of your consciousness. When you call upon the LORD, you call upon your own I AM, the awareness that never wavers. The wicked and the lying lips belong to states of fear and pride within you, not distant enemies. The request that they be silenced in the grave is a demand to quiet the ego that feeds on doubt and what others say. By dwelling in the conviction that you are seen, justified, and protected by the one Life, you dissolve their voice. Your world responds not to external verdicts but to your inner state. If you catch yourself feeding a biased image of another person or yourself, revise it: see the moment as already closed, the contrast dissolves, and the only reality is the one you acknowledge now. Speak from the end: I am vindicated; my enemies are silenced by the truth that I am held in divine order. In that feeling, the external voice loses its grip, and you walk in quiet confidence.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, breathe slowly, and assume the end: I am vindicated and all lying voices are silenced. Feel the reality of that conviction now, and let the outer dialogue reflect your inner quiet.
