The I Am Assures The Weak

Neville's Inner Vision

From a Neville Goddard lens, the verse teaches that mischief and spite are not external forces but inner movements within consciousness. 'Thou hast seen it' becomes the awareness that you, not some distant judge, observe every thought as it arises. When these thoughts of harm appear, they are opportunities for the I AM to act—not by punishing, but by redirecting attention toward what you affirm. The phrase 'to requite it with thy hand' signals that your conscious energy, your I AM, manifests outcomes through the quality of attention you give. The line 'the poor committeth himself unto thee' identifies the lack you feel as an inner state that can be surrendered to the protective regard of awareness. In this light, 'thou art the helper of the fatherless' reveals that wholeness and mercy are not found outside, but found in the inward alliance with God who shelters, guides, and nurtures. So you practice faith by assuming the I AM is actively caring for your needs, and you revise thoughts accordingly, letting imagination redraw your sense of provision. Mercy becomes your inner alignment, and justice flows as you dwell in that certainty.
