Neville Goddard on Psalms 104:6-9 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Psalms 104 in context

Scripture Focus

6Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.

7At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.

8They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them.

9Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.

Psalms 104:6-9

Biblical Context

Psalm 104:6-9 speaks of deep waters covering the earth, then being restrained by boundaries set by the Creator; order emerges as chaos is bounded and directed.

Neville's Inner Vision

Psalm 104:6-9 speaks not of external geography but of your inner climate. The deep waters of feeling cover the mind until you issue a decree with the I AM, and the rebellious floods retreat to their ordained channels. The mountains represent fixed points of attention, the valleys the rising and falling moods within you, all moving toward the place the I AM has founded in your consciousness. When you choose and assume a boundary—an inner line that cannot be crossed—the waters obey the rebuke and withdraw. This is inner order born from a deliberate creation by imagination and awareness. By recognizing yourself as the governor of your own psychic landscape, you transform likelihoods and emotions into orderly experience. The verse invites you to claim your I AM authority, not as a distant power, but as the living present that commands your inner sea and sets boundaries that prevent chaos from overtaking the whole of your being.

Practice This Now

Impose an inner boundary now by stating, I AM the boundary within which all feelings and thoughts move. Close your eyes, breathe, and picture a clear shoreline in your mind; rest there as the certainty that nothing outside your chosen horizon can overturn your inner order.
