Neville Goddard on Psalms 113:3-9 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Psalms 113 in context

Scripture Focus

3From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD's name is to be praised.

4The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens.

5Who is like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high,

6Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth!

7He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill;

8That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.

9He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD.

Psalms 113:3-9

Biblical Context

The psalm urges praise to the Lord from sunrise to sunset. It describes God as exalted above all, who cares for the lowly—raising the poor, helping the barren to become joyful.

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice that the Psalm is not about God somewhere out there, but about your inner I AM. When you repeat that the Lord is praised from dawn to dusk, you awaken a consciousness that rises above the clamor of external circumstances. The line that God is high above nations becomes a statement of your own awareness standing tall above appearances. He humbles himself to behold heaven and earth, meaning your attention can descend into the inner world and choose what you will accept as real. By imagining that the poor and the barren are lifted into royal company, you are practicing the inner shift from lack to abundance. The psalm invites you to partner with your essential self and to set your inner state with princes, aligning your day with the reality you assume. Praise becomes your operating system, transforming perceived limitation into manifestations of joy, order, and blessing. The entire Psalm is an invitation to repeatedly assume the truth of your own dominion in the I AM.

Practice This Now

Assume the feeling of praise as your natural state. In a quiet moment, picture the inner kingdom rising with you—see the poor and barren transformed, and you seated with princes as your day unfolds in blessing.
