Inner Zion: Victory Through Awareness

Psalms 129:5-7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Psalms 129 in context

Scripture Focus

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.
Psalms 129:5-7

Biblical Context

Psalm 129:5–7 declares that enemies who hate Zion will be confounded, and that outward threats are like grass on a rooftop that withers away. The verse hints that true potency lies in the inner life of awareness, not in external clamor.

Neville's Inner Vision

Look into Psalm 129:5–7 as a map of your inner weather. Zion is not a place afoot but the I AM within you—the steady, unwounded awareness that neither fights nor fears. The enemies who hate Zion are the restless judgments and hostile thoughts that arise when you forget who you truly are. When you persist in the assumption 'I AM' and accept that this awareness is all-powerful, those hostile movements are confounded and turn back, for they were never separate from your consciousness to begin with. The grass upon the housetops speaks of appearances that seem to have life yet wither before the sun of true being; once you dwell in the sun-bright truth of I AM, such forms lose their grip. The mower who cannot fill his hand is the ego attempting to harvest by force; it leaves you empty because the harvest is already yours in the realized state. Therefore salvation and redemption are present now, and hope and future arise as you hold fast to the inner vision that you are, and always were, the I AM.

Practice This Now

Assume the I AM as Zion within you; feel the stability of awareness, and revise hostile thoughts by stating 'Let them be confounded and turned back' until the feeling is real.
