Neville Goddard on Psalms 128:1-2 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Psalms 128 in context

Scripture Focus

1Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways.

2For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.

Psalms 128:1-2

Biblical Context

Verse states that reverence for the LORD and living in alignment with His ways brings happiness and well-being as the natural fruit of one's labor. Outer prosperity follows from the inner alignment of thought and action.

Neville's Inner Vision

Take the verse as a mirror of your inner residence. The fear of the LORD is not fear but reverent attention to the I AM within—the awareness that you are the expression of God. To walk in His ways is to align every thought, image, and decision with the end you desire, allowing your imagination to lead you into the actions required. The line 'the labour of thine hands' is the fruit of disciplined mental work: focused thought, coherent intention, and the steady turning of vision into practice. When you dwell in this state, happiness arises as a natural consequence of being in harmony with the divine pattern; 'it shall be well with thee' becomes your constant condition of consciousness. Do not seek proof outside; revise your sense of self until your inner atmosphere feels saturated with certainty. The outer world will reflect your inward alignment, and prosperity will follow as an effect of this inner obedience. You are the I AM imagining itself into form.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: close your eyes and assume the end—you're already walking in the LORD's ways, eating the fruit of your labor, experiencing happiness and well-being. Feel it real now and let your daily steps confirm the inner alignment.
