Inner Zion, Shadows Without

Psalms 129:5-8 - 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.
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 129:5-8

Biblical Context

Plainly, it warns that those who hate Zion will be confounded and that outward gains wither away. The true blessing comes from the LORD.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your psalm is not about external enemies but about your own interior state. Zion is the inner state of unity with the I AM. Hatred toward Zion is an old belief that you are separate from your divine source. When you treat the enemies as inner attitudes—doubt, fear, scarcity—the verse says they will be confounded and turn back as you stop feeding them with attention. The grass on the housetops that withers before it grows symbolizes transient thoughts of success that appear on the surface but fail to nourish your being when not rooted in the Source. The mower's empty hands show that harvest cannot come from such appearances; your true harvest comes from the inner miracle of blessing, which you claim in the name of the LORD, your I AM. Therefore, revise the sense of opposition to a demonstration of your own unity with God, and allow the feeling of the blessing to fill your consciousness.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume, right now, that the blessing of the LORD rests upon you; speak internally, I am blessed; I am in the I AM. Then hold the feeling for a minute as if the world around you reorders to reflect this inner truth.
