1Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God endureth continually.

2Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

3Thou lovest evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah.

4Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue.

Psalms 52:1-4

Biblical Context

It portrays a boastful mighty man whose tongue devises mischief and lies. The psalm points to the enduring goodness of God and invites integrity.

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville Goddard vantage, the mighty man is not an external villain but a chapter of your own inner self—a state of consciousness that boasts in mischief and feeds on deceit. The goodness of God endureth continually is the eternal truth your I AM awakens to; every thought that devours others or lies is but a mis-tuning of the instrument of perception. Your tongue becomes a razor of inner speech, carving reality from your imagined end; to alter the world you must revise what you imagine about yourself. Pride in mischief is a refusal to align with the truth of your being; when that inner boast repeats, you are simply watching the old self narrate its survival. Selah—the pause—remind yourself to interrupt the habitual script and choose a different inner monologue, one of integrity, truth, and life. By assuming the attribute of God within, loving goodness more than evil, speaking righteousness, you re-script your experience. The outer shadows of wickedness fade as you claim your oneness with the I AM and let your words reflect divine life.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Sit in quiet, breathe, and assume I AM as your inner self. Revise any deceitful inner speech by declaring, My words are true; I speak righteousness, I am the truth of God in expression, and feel the certainty in your chest.
