Neville Goddard on Psalms 10:12-18 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Psalms 10 in context

Scripture Focus

12Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble.

13Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it.

14Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless.

15Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till thou find none.

16The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land.

17LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:

18To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.

Psalms 10:12-18

Biblical Context

God rises for the humble; He sees mischief, defends the poor and fatherless, and judges the wicked. The LORD is King forever, and the humble are heard, while oppression ends.

Neville's Inner Vision

When you read Psalm 10:12–18 as Neville would, you see the scene not as distant history but as your inner state. Arise, O LORD; lift up thine hand, forget not the humble, becomes: the I AM arises in you and raises your situation by the power of awareness. The 'LORD' is the one presence you call upon—the awareness that you are, and always have been, in control. The 'humble' is the stable, childlike trust in this I AM, not a poor submission but a confident resting in divine order. The wicked who 'contemn God' mirror thoughts of fear and resistance that would deny your power; yet you behold mischief and trust the hand that moves in your life, for the poor and fatherless stand as symbols of neglected parts of yourself now welcomed by the I AM. Break thou the arm of the wicked shifts the drama from struggle to decree: you speak and the fear dissolves. The LORD is King forever—this is your unchanging state of consciousness. When you hold the humble heart and listen to the quiet ear, oppression vanishes and the earth-man's tyranny loses its grip.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and declare: I AM arises now; I forget not the humble state of mind. Then revise a current problem by affirming, 'The I AM breaks the power of fear; divine justice flows through my life.' Feel it real.
