Inner Return to Joy

Psalms 126:1-4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Psalms 126 in context

Scripture Focus

1When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.
2Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done great things for them.
3The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.
4Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south.
Psalms 126:1-4

Biblical Context

Psalm 126:1-4 depicts a people whose exile ends in an inner turning; they taste laughter and singing as signs of deliverance and ask for a renewed turning of captivity.

Neville's Inner Vision

See Zion not as a place but as the inner state of consciousness where you are aware of your true I AM. The captivity is any limiting belief you identify with; the 'heathen' voices are the old doubts that once spoke within you, now reflected as proof of a complete inner victory. When the text says, 'the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion,' it is your awareness turning toward the present reality of freedom. The words 'The LORD hath done great things for us' become a felt gratitude, a memory of your real identity rather than a distant event. 'Turn again our captivity' is the ongoing discipline of revision—you continuously redirect attention from lack to fullness, from fear to faith. The 'streams in the south' symbolize an abundant inner flow of fulfillment that pours through your inner channels, bringing laughter and song to your inner being. Dwelling in this new state, you recognize that the deliverance is not coming tomorrow but is already here as your I AM’s living presence working now.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, assume you are already delivered, and feel the joy as if the blessing has returned. State a simple revision like 'I am free now, my captivity is turned,' and dwell in that feeling until it becomes your present experience.
