Devouring Tongue Within Revealed

Psalms 52:4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Psalms 52 in context

Scripture Focus

4Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue.
Psalms 52:4

Biblical Context

The verse names a deceitful tongue that loves devouring words, signaling a pattern of harsh, harming speech. It points to an inner dialogue that desires to tear down others with falsehood.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this Psalm, the thou is not a distant foe but a state of consciousness within you that has grown fond of fear, fault finding, and the consumption of others' words. Neville-like, see that devouring words are a habit of attention—thoughts that feed on condemnation and separation. Your I AM, the essential awareness, does not condemn; it observes. To transform, do not battle the tongue but revise the assumption: you are the creator, and your imagination makes reality. By dwelling in the truth that you are the source of all speech, you disengage from the reactive habit and invite a gentler, truthful cadence into inner talk. As you persist in this shift, the inner climate changes; judgments soften, and the world reflects a more benevolent order. The verse then becomes a doorway: you choose to align your inner narration with integrity, love, and the certainty of your divine nature.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Assume the state of the I AM speaking through you; revise a harsh inner sentence to I speak with truth, kindness, and inner peace, and feel that this new speech is already real.
