Inner Song in a Stranger Land

Psalms 137:3-4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Psalms 137 in context

Scripture Focus

3For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.
4How shall we sing the LORD's song in a strange land?
Psalms 137:3-4

Biblical Context

The verse describes captives urged to sing in a strange land, highlighting the tension between outward performance and true worship in exile.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this Psalm, captivity is a state of mind, and the 'songs of Zion' are the natural expression of your divinity. When you feel pressed in a strange land—by lack, fear, or the demand for approval—the question, 'How shall we sing the LORD's song in a strange land?' becomes a doorway to revision. You are not the captive; you are the awareness that imagines. The inner voice that knows the I AM can sing regardless of circumstance. See the exterior demands as echoes of an old assumption and refuse to identify with them. Instead, anchor the sense of plenitude, harmony, and sovereignty within you. When you entertain the I AM as the singer, the song arises from within, and the outward world reflects that transformation. The exile becomes the proving ground where inner worship is practiced and proven real by inner certainty.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, assume the I AM as the singer within, and revise the scene with 'I am singing now.' Feel the inner song as real, independent of external approval.
