Psalms 113:1-4

Biblical Context

Psalm 113:1-4 invites praising the LORD, blessing His name, and acknowledging His sovereignty from sunrise to sunset as a practice of inner alignment. It points to worship as an inner state rather than external performance.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your verse speaks not of a distant ruler, but of the I AM that you ARE. The 'LORD' is the name you attach to your state of awareness; the servants are the habits of attention by which you discover who you intend to be. When you bless the name, you bless the consistent presence within, and when you praise the LORD from sunrise to sunset, you domesticate your inner weather to align with unlimited glory. The verse is a reminder that the Power in you is immutable; you do not pray to reach God, you become the living expression of the I AM, as the Psalmist exalts the name. The practice is to assume the feeling of being entirely identified with the praise, to revise any lack or limitation, and to feel it real now. As you persist, the inner movement of praise lifts your consciousness to the throne of your own being.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: In the next moment, assume the attitude: I am the servant of the LORD, the NAME is my awareness. Feel it as real now and let the inner atmosphere rise in praise from sunrise to sunset.
