Neville Goddard on Psalms 125:1-3 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Psalms 125 in context

Scripture Focus

1They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.

2As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.

3For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.

Psalms 125:1-3

Biblical Context

Psalm 125:1-3 presents trust in the LORD as an unmovable, Zion-like state and describes divine protection encircling the righteous; it also warns that temptations cannot rest on them unless they abandon their inner integrity.

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the Neville lens, Psalm 125:1-3 is a guide to inner geography. Those who trust in the LORD are not seeking a future relief but entering a fixed state of consciousness—Mount Zion in your mind—an unshakeable center that cannot be removed. And the line that the LORD is round about his people communicates an eternal halo of awareness: your inner life is circled by the Presence, always keeping watch, always protecting you from drifting into fear. When you hold to trust, the outer pressures of error and seeming wickedness cannot take effect upon your lot, that portion of life you claim as yours. The danger arises only when you entertain thoughts that move you toward compliance with wrongdoing; so you revise them by assuming a higher state and feeling it real. Therefore, you do not fight the world; you elevate your own consciousness until it asserts that wrong action has no power here. Faith becomes a practical demonstration: inner wholeness ends strife and anchors you in right action.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, breathe, and assume the feeling of Zion—the unmovable trust that cannot be moved. Repeat: I am surrounded by the I AM; no rod of limitation rests upon my life.
