Neville Goddard on Psalms 130:6-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Psalms 130 in context

Scripture Focus

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.

Psalms 130:6-7

Biblical Context

The psalm speaks of a soul that waits for the Lord, more eagerly than those who watch for dawn. It calls Israel (the inner self) to place hope in the Lord, for mercy and redemption are found in Him.

Neville's Inner Vision

The outer dawn is but symbol; the real dawn is the awakening of God-consciousness within. Waiting becomes a deliberate shift of attention to the I AM, a willingness to rest in the presence that already is. When the verse says, 'more than they that watch for the morning,' you are being invited to trust your inner state over outward signals. 'Let Israel hope in the LORD' speaks to the inner nation—the thoughts, beliefs, and feelings you identify with—choosing to anchor them in the Lord-consciousness. For with the Lord there is mercy, and with Him there is plenteous redemption: mercy is the steady grace of awareness you can access now, and redemption is the renewal of consciousness that comes when you acknowledge God as your I AM. Thus redemption is not a future event but an inner awakening, a shift from lack to fullness by the imaginative act of assuming the truth of God within.

Practice This Now

Assume you are already within the mercy of the Lord; revise any sense of lack by repeating, 'I am in the I AM now,' and feel the inner dawn rising as your reality.
