Psalms 135:19-21

Biblical Context

The passage calls the houses of Israel, Aaron, Levi, and all who fear the LORD to bless the LORD, acknowledging His dwelling in Zion and Jerusalem and offering praise.

Neville's Inner Vision

This scripture invites you to recognize the LORD as the I AM within, and the various 'houses'—Israel, Aaron, Levi, and those who fear the LORD—as different faculties of your mind that are to be blessed. Blessing the LORD means affirming the I AM as present, letting reverence and steadfast awareness govern the inner life. The line about dwelling in Zion and Jerusalem points to the inner center where this divine presence resides; to bless from that center is to align every part of the self with the divine reality. To praise the LORD is to live in gratitude and trust, recognizing that this consciousness permeates all you think, feel, and do. The verse thus offers a practical path: awaken to the I AM, bless every facet of your mind from that center, and let the outward life bear witness to the inward reality. By insisting on this blessed state, you unify the inner states and invite the divine presence to dwell within.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly, close your eyes, and say, 'I bless the LORD within me.' Feel the I AM as your central presence; bless the different faculties of your mind as one harmonious state, and dwell in gratitude knowing the divine is right where you stand.
