4But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.

5I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.

6My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.

7Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.

8And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

Biblical Context

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine forgiveness as a state of consciousness you enter, not a distant event you await. The Lord is the I AM within you, your constant awareness; to wait for the Lord is to keep your attention fixed on the word you trust. In that steadiness, your soul aligns with mercy and redemption becomes a lived reality rather than a distant promise. The line that there is mercy with the Lord teaches that your inner weather is favorable, and plenteous redemption flows from that center. When you feel forgiven, guilt loosens its grip, and your thoughts begin to harmonize with your desired outcome. Your inner Israel—your mental republic—rests in the conviction that forgiveness is real now and that mercy works through you. The present moment holds the seed of redemption from all iniquities if you remain in the awareness that forgiveness is your native state and that mercy and healing follow naturally. Choose this inner vision, dwell there, and your outer world will increasingly reflect that liberty.
