Psalms 129:1-8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Psalms 129 in context

Scripture Focus

1Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:
2Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me.
3The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.
4The LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.
5Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.
6Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:
7Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.
8Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD be upon you: we bless you in the name of the LORD.
Psalms 129:1-8

Biblical Context

Afflictions are remembered as lasting from youth, yet they have not prevailed; the psalm declares God cuts the cords of oppression and ends with a blessing.

Neville's Inner Vision

From a Neville vantage, this psalm is not a ledger of outward misfortune but an inner scripture of consciousness. 'Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth' names the recurring thoughts and conditioning that press on your awareness. 'Yet they have not prevailed against me' declares the unassailable I AM, the you that cannot be conquered by appearances. The 'plowers plowed upon my back' are the burdens you once accepted; when you assume the state of fullness, the furrows vanish as if they were drawn in sand. 'The LORD is righteous' points to your inner righteousness—the alignment that cuts the cords of the wicked, not by force but by revelation. Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion becomes a renewal of the mind that hates nothing within. 'Let them be as the grass upon the housetops' is the temporary nature of judgments when awareness shines; 'the mower' will not fill his hand because you have freely planted the harvest of peace in the soil of your I AM. Finally, 'the blessing of the LORD be upon you' is your constant state when you bless yourself from the throne of the I AM, in the name of the LORD.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and repeat, 'I am the I AM; affliction cannot prevail against me; the cords of fear are cut now.' Feel the truth as a real current of peace moving through you, and dwell in the blessed state until it feels natural.
