Psalms 58:3-4

Biblical Context

The psalm describes the wicked as estranged from the womb and going astray from birth, speaking lies. Their poison is like serpent venom, deafening the ear to truth.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this psalm, the wicked are not distant enemies but states of consciousness that have turned away from the womb of your being. When you identify with fear, deceit, or judgment, you go astray as soon as you imagine. The speech of lies and the serpent's poison reflect thoughts that would close your ears to the still, small voice of awareness. The cure is to realize the I AM—the unchanging awareness that is your true self—perceives only unity and truth. By refusing the pull of projection and revising the inner narrative, you convert poison into energy that awakens faithfulness and compassion. The moment you assume a new inner posture - truth-telling, forgiving, and centered in I AM - you seal the mind against deceit and align with divine order.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, place a hand on your chest, and declare: I AM the truth that hears; I revise every thought of deceit. See the poison dissolve into light as you embody the I AM.
