Neville Goddard on Psalms 132:4-8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Psalms 132 in context

Scripture Focus

4I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids,

5Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.

6Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood.

7We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool.

8Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength.

Psalms 132:4-8

Biblical Context

Psalm 132:4-8 speaks of not resting until a place for the LORD is found—an inner habitation prepared within the heart, and a gathering to worship the inner presence.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your mind will not rest until you discover a place for the LORD within your mind. The LORD is your I AM, your awareness; the habitation is a fixed mental scene you choose and maintain. The journey from Ephrathah to the fields of the wood marks a move from scattered thought to settled consciousness. When you enter his tabernacles and worship at his footstool, you shift attention to the inner throne where the ark of strength rests. Arise, O LORD, into thy rest becomes your inner restfulness—the surrender to the truth that God is within. This is not an external chase; it is an inner realignment—the realization that the kingdom within is already established, and your world reflects the state you consistently inhabit. Practice this by treating the assumption as true until the feeling saturates your being.

Practice This Now

Assume the statement I am the dwelling place of the LORD within. Feel that truth as a living, calming reality and rest there until you move through your day from that inner temple.
