Psalms 135:1-3

Biblical Context

Psalm 135:1-3 invites praise to the LORD as a practice of worship, recognizing the LORD’s goodness and inviting joyful singing. The inner interpretation sees worship as the conscious recognition and manifestation of divine presence within the mind.

Neville's Inner Vision

To one who listens, these verses map a state of consciousness. The LORD is not an external deity; He is the I AM within you, the steady awareness through which you imagine and thereby become. When it says 'praise ye the LORD, praise ye the name of the LORD,' it invites you to praise the quality you are already imagining into existence. 'The house of the LORD' is your inner temple, the mind organized by truth and gratitude; the 'courts' are the disciplined thoughts that honor that presence. 'Praise the LORD; for the LORD is good' declares the intrinsic goodness of your being, not a distant act. 'sing praises unto his name' becomes you naming your true identity—feel the vibration of the Name as your own I AM. 'for it is pleasant' reveals the joy that follows when you dwell in this truth. Practice: assume you stand in that inner temple now, revise any lack into gratitude, and feel your inner atmosphere align with the praise you are offering.

Practice This Now

Assume you are in the inner temple and say, 'I am praising now.' Feel the presence as bright, good, and real within you, and let that vibration rewrite your day.
