Read Psalms 58 in context

6Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O LORD.

7Let them melt away as waters which run continually: when he bendeth his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces.

Psalms 58:6-7

Biblical Context

Psalm 58:6-7 speaks with fierce imagery of breaking and melting as a call to disarm hostility. In Neville's view, these are inner conditions—fear and judgment—that vanish when you awaken to I AM and revise your state.

Neville's Inner Vision

Take the psalm as an instruction to the consciousness you actually are. God is the I AM that you are aware of, not a distant power fighting on your behalf. The 'break their teeth' motif translates to breaking the bite of hostile thoughts—the conviction that others have power over you. When you refuse to feed those thoughts with fear, you strip their argument of force. The line about waters melting speaks to the dissolution of fixed images and plans that arrows would enforce. Arrows are judgments, criticisms, or illusions of attack; to 'let them melt away' is to permit those images to slip back into vapor, leaving your awareness serene. The bow is an intention aimed at you; but in your inner kingdom the bow loses its sting the moment you stand in the certainty of I AM. Deliverance becomes immediate inward sensation—the feeling that nothing outside has power over your peace. Your duty is to assume a state of freedom and maintain it until the outer world merely reflects that inner calm.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and declare: 'I AM the power that dissolves fear; all hostility melts in the light of my awareness.' Then revise: 'From this moment, no arrow or judgment has any force over me,' and hold the feeling of deliverance until it feels true.
