Neville Goddard on Psalms 11:3-6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Psalms 11 in context

Scripture Focus

3If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?

4The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD's throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.

5The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.

6Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.

Psalms 11:3-6

Biblical Context

Psalm 11:3-6 asks what the righteous can do when foundations seem destroyed, declares God sits in heaven and watches all, tests the righteous, and will mete judgment on the wicked.

Neville's Inner Vision

To the one who feels the ground crumble, know that the foundations spoken of are beliefs in consciousness, not bricks. The Lord in his holy temple is the awareness you call I AM. Heaven’s throne is the level of attention you can access now; God’s eyes behold your thoughts with calm, discerning intensity. The Lord tests the righteous by revealing what you truly identify with. The wicked and those who love violence are the projection of fear that hates safety; their cup is but a mirror you may choose to set down. Do not seek to alter the external storm; instead revise the assumption behind it: you are the observer, the temple, and the throne remains in heaven within you. When you feel danger, let the inner alignment govern; you will find the outer judgments fall away as your consciousness rises. Your true foundation is unshakable awareness.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly and revise by affirming, 'The foundations of my life are secure in the I AM.' Visualize the throne-room of heaven within your awareness and feel the certainty that you are always the observer of all events.
