Neville Goddard on Psalms 106:6-23 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Psalms 106 in context

Scripture Focus

6We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.

7Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies; but provoked him at the sea, even at the Red sea.

8Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known.

9He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up: so he led them through the depths, as through the wilderness.

10And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

11And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them left.

12Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.

13They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel:

14But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert.

15And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul.

16They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron the saint of the LORD.

17The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.

18And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.

19They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image.

20Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.

21They forgat God their saviour, which had done great things in Egypt;

22Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things by the Red sea.

23Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them.

Psalms 106:6-23

Biblical Context

Psalm 106:6-23 records confession of sin and a memory of God's mercies, followed by a recounting of wavering faith that provoked judgment until intercession turned wrath away. It highlights that remembrance, trust, and mercy lead to deliverance.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, these words are not relics of a distant people but images of your own inner life. The Red Sea becomes the sea of fear you dare not cross; the idol is the image you cling to when you forget the I AM within. When you remember that you are saved for the sake of your name, you release the inner power that dries up the depths and makes a way through wilderness. The leanness of soul is simply a belief in lack; you reverse it by feeding on the awareness of your true savior-self here and now. The rebellion that troubles you outwardly is but a habit of mind that forgets wonders; replace it with the truth that you are always seen, always loved, by your own consciousness. Moses, your higher self, stands in the breach when you hesitate, turning away imagined wrath. Thus the inner drama shifts from ruin to deliverance, and past failures become fuel for a present, knowing victory.

Practice This Now

Act: Assume the I AM now; declare, 'I have crossed the sea; I am saved by my own awareness.' Revise any memory of lack by feeling the mercy as present and real, breathing it in until it becomes your lived experience.
