Neville Goddard on Psalms 106:40-45 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Psalms 106 in context

Scripture Focus

40Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.

41And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated them ruled over them.

42Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand.

43Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked him with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity.

44Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry:

45And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.

Psalms 106:40-45

Biblical Context

God's wrath falls on the people when they forget their covenant. They cry out and are delivered as God remembers his mercy.

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice that wrath in this psalm is not distant punishment but the tightening of awareness when the I AM is forgotten in favor of fear. The people are states of consciousness; when these inner states preside, they feel the 'heathen' rulers and the oppression of thoughts. Deliverances repeat because old habits of thinking return, and the inner council keeps you bound to the story. Yet the cry is heard by the I AM, which remembers the covenant buried in you—the unity that you already are. The phrase 'repented according to the multitude of his mercies' becomes a turning of the mind toward mercy, a new decision to dwell in the truth that you are one with God. When you shift your attention from lack to the I AM, you invite a renewal of your inner covenant and a fresh sense of release from old patterns. The cycle ends not by changing a situation, but by changing the state of consciousness that creates it.

Practice This Now

Sit in quiet and declare, 'I am the I AM.' Assume the feeling that the covenant is now true in you, and revise any sense of separation until you feel one with the divine I AM.
