Neville Goddard on Psalms 109:6-15 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Psalms 109 in context

Scripture Focus

6Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand.

7When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.

8Let his days be few; and let another take his office.

9Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.

10Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.

11Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour.

12Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children.

13Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.

14Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.

15Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.

Psalms 109:6-15

Biblical Context

The passage petitions severe judgment on an adversary and his lineage. It frames a future of condemnation, extinction, and denied mercy.

Neville's Inner Vision

These lines dramatize a mental courtroom. The 'wicked man' over whom you seek to set rule is a state of consciousness, not a person. 'Let Satan stand at his right hand' is the inner critic seated by your side, testing your resolve. When judgment comes, the petition 'let him be condemned' reveals the habit of punishing a belief rather than reversing it. The long maledictions of his days and exile are inner projections of limitation you fear will endure. Neville teaches that the I AM is the governor of this mind, and you may revise the decree. Replace condemnation with mercy; replace extinction with healing. Imagine the inner judge replaced by the only true king—the sense of oneness and justice that blesses all. Let the memory of such states be erased from your inner records as you would remove a false memory from the earth; in its place, set the memory of your perfect, loving nature. The inner kingdom is yours to claim now; by assumption and feeling, you dissolve the old sentence and awaken to the liberty of living as one with God.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the I AM as ruler of your mind. Revise the decree to: 'Mercy governs my inner court; I forgive, I release, and I am free.' Then feel that realization as real.
