Inner Deliverance From Wrath
Psalms 124:3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 124 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse describes being overwhelmed by another’s anger, a peril that could swallow us up when wrath is kindled against us.
Neville's Inner Vision
In this line the 'they' and the 'us' are states of mind. Wrath is not a fact outside you but a mental motion—an impulse of fear, guilt, or judgment arising in consciousness. When the heart or ego imagines itself threatened, it feels as if one has been swallowed whole. Yet you are not the fear you feel; you are the I AM, the unchanging awareness in which the scene unfolds. To reinterpret is to shift your state, not your surroundings: affirm, 'I AM the one who watches this scene,' and let the mental image dissolve in the light of consciousness. The moment you claim the I AM as your sole reality, the danger recedes, and deliverance appears as a natural recalibration of experience. The psalmist’s cry becomes a reminder that the apparent threat is a projection within mind, not an external monster. You are the fruitful ground upon which all scenes arise, and you also are the sanctuary that swallows up fear by recognizing it as imagination.
Practice This Now
Assume the identity: say, 'I AM the awareness in which this scene exists,' and feel that the swallowed fear is dissolving into your steady presence.
