Read Psalms 52 in context

Scripture Focus

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

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

Psalms 52:3-4

Biblical Context

Psalm 52:3–4 describes a state of mind that loves evil and lies over truth, and speaks deceitful words. It invites inner examination and transformation of your speech.

Neville's Inner Vision

Close your eyes and feel the truth that you are the I AM, the living actuality that can revise any inner script. When you say, 'I love evil more than good,' you are not addressing God or the world; you are naming a state of consciousness you have accepted as real. The remedy is not more argument, but a leap of imagination: assume the state in which you love righteousness, and your speech becomes life instead of destruction. See the inner tongue transform from deceitful to truthful; let 'Selah' mark the moment you pause and bless what you have chosen. By dwelling in the assumption that you are one with truth, you awaken the power to rewrite every thought and word. Your imagination creates reality, so you must dwell in the sensation of having already become the man who speaks uprightly. The 'devouring words' fade into nourishment, and the lie dissolves in the light of the I AM, leaving you free to move through life as integrity incarnate.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the feeling of the truth you seek: that you are the I AM, and you love righteousness rather than deceit. Then revise every inner thought and spoken word to align with that reality; practice a moment of silent, truthful, life-giving speech each day.
