The Tongue Within: Revised Speech

Psalms 52:2-3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Psalms 52 in context

Scripture Focus

2Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
3Thou lovest evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah.
Psalms 52:2-3

Biblical Context

Psalm 52:2-3 voices the inner tongue as a weapon of mischief, deceit, and preference for evil over truth.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, that line about the tongue is not a verdict on your outer words alone; it marks the inner state you inhabit. 'Mischief' and sharp deceit are the movements of a mind that has forgotten its I AM. When you identify with fear or self-advancement through manipulation, you are feeding a version of yourself that loves evil more than truth. But this is not punishment; it is a signal that a substitution is possible. The inner law GOD (I AM) works by your belief. If you close the door on deceit and rehearse a new assumption—'I am truthful, I am pure in motive, I speak what is right'—you begin to feel the reality of that truth in your world. The more you dwell in that revision, the more outer events reflect the inner integrity. Selah is a pause to let the new state consolidate. Remember: imagination creates reality, and your tongue is the instrument through which you command your inner weather.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, breathe, and declare 'I am truth-telling in all I think and say.' Feel the truth in your chest as if it is already so, then carry that feeling into a few minutes of ordinary speech today.
