Inner Psalm: Truth Against Deceit
Psalms 5:5-6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 5 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse says deceitful and foolish people cannot stand before God; the Lord hates liars and will destroy those who speak falsehood.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within the psyche, the foolish and the workers of iniquity are not outer foes but inner states clinging to illusion. God, the I AM, is the steady awareness that never wavers in truth; to stand in its sight is to allow consciousness to reflect integrity rather than deception. When you harbor a leasing speech or deceitful motive, you invite the destruction of the inner pattern—your mind becomes a battleground where lie based thoughts attempt to prosper. Neville would say the Lord destroys such lying thoughts by your decision to stop feeding them with attention. The phrase abhor the bloody and deceitful man translates to an inner standard of purity that refuses to identify with violence in word or deed. The moment you confess and revise a belief that does not serve truth, you kill the lie by withdrawing belief and replace it with the conviction that you are the I AM, and reality conforms to that fixed knowing. Your imagination becomes the tribunal where truth is established; your feelings ride on the certainty that you are already upright and just, and so your life follows.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, breathe, and declare I AM, I choose truth over deceit. Revise one current thought you catch yourself using and feel the reality of a life loyal to integrity.
