Psalms 57:4

Biblical Context

Psalm 57:4 portrays the speaker among lions and fiery foes, with teeth like spears and tongues like swords. Neville-style, this all represents inner states of consciousness, not outer threats, that you can revise by becoming the I AM, the steady observer.

Neville's Inner Vision

Psalm 57:4 becomes a map of your inner weather. When you name your soul among lions, you are naming a moment when fear and sharp judgments seem to roar around you. But the psalmist speaks from the seat of the I AM, the constant observer who can witness the scene without being torn by it. In Neville’s language, the lions and the fire are not external foes but states of consciousness that you can revise. Assume you are the I AM, the unchanging awareness behind thoughts. As you rest in that assumption, the power of destructive voices wanes, and your mental weather shifts toward calm. The outer word loses its sting as you realize you are the one who imagines the scene into being. Your job is not to fight the lions but to abide as the watcher who says, 'I AM,' and thus redefines the entire field by the power of consciousness.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, take a slow breath, and repeat, 'I am the I AM.' Then revise the scene by sensing yourself as the calm observer among the lions, allowing the fear to dissolve as you hold your I AM awareness.
