Neville Goddard on Psalms 114:5-6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Psalms 114 in context

Scripture Focus

5What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?

6Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs?

Psalms 114:5-6

Biblical Context

Psalm 114:5-6 presents the sea, Jordan, mountains, and hills as movements within consciousness; when awareness shifts, outer nature reflects that inner shift.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your verse is not describing weather but the drama of your inner life. The sea that fled and the Jordan that withdrew stand for restless thoughts and the flow of life that yield to your present state. The mountains skipping like rams and the little hills like lambs symbolize fixed conditions bending when your inner posture changes. God is the I AM within you, the awareness that moves all things. By assuming a new inner state and feeling it as real now, you align with harmony and observe the outer scene respond accordingly: fear dissolves, order returns, and form follows your inward conviction. This is the practice of the law of assumption: you revise the inner landscape and the world follows in kind, not by force but by the natural movement of your consciousness toward truth.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and revise the scene: the sea draws back, the Jordan reverses, mountains skip, hills become lambs; then rest in the felt reality of that harmony as if it is already done.
