1And in that day thou shalt say, O LORD, I will praise thee: though thou wast angry with me, thine anger is turned away, and thou comfortedst me.

2Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation.

3Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.

4And in that day shall ye say, Praise the LORD, call upon his name, declare his doings among the people, make mention that his name is exalted.

5Sing unto the LORD; for he hath done excellent things: this is known in all the earth.

6Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion: for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville Goddard vantage, that day is your inner decision: the anger you feel is a thought in your own mind, and when you turn toward God the I AM that you are truly the anger dissolves into comfort. To say God is my salvation is not a future hope but a statement of the state you inhabit right now: a consciousness that cannot be overcome because your awareness itself is salvation. Your strength is not a fortress outside you but the steadfastness of attention on what you affirm in spirit; your song is the melody of a heart aligned with the divine presence. Draw joy as you draw water; let the wells of salvation be a daily image you revisit with praise and trust. In that day you will declare that his name is exalted, sing that excellent things have been done, and let the world know through your inner witness. The Holy One of Israel is in the midst of you—your own awakened I AM—therefore you are never alone and fear has no lasting power.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and repeat in your own rhythm that God is your salvation until you feel a certainty settle in. Then picture drawing joyful water from the wells of salvation and quietly affirm praises to the LORD as your daily practice.
