Inner Praise Awakening
Psalms 138:1-2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 138 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Psalm 138:1-2 expresses wholehearted praise and a worship that answers to the inner temple rather than outer voices. It asserts lovingkindness and truth as inner realities and says God's word is magnified above all names.
Neville's Inner Vision
Read as Neville would: worship is a state of consciousness, not a ritual performed for approval. 'The gods' are the ceaseless outer voices—the fears, opinions, and conventional reputations that pretend to govern your life. When you say, 'I will praise thee with my whole heart,' you are choosing a total alignment of attention with the divine I AM within. To sing before the gods is to exercise the certainty that your inner state is sovereign over appearances. 'I will worship toward thy holy temple' points you to the inner sanctuary—the temple of awareness where truth resides beyond name and status. Your lovingkindness and your truth are not mere traits observed in others; they are your own inner realities you awaken by praise and attention. And the clause 'for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name' reveals the creative law: the word you decree in consciousness carries more power than any outward label. Therefore, revise your sense of self by declaring a new state and persist in feeling it real. When you act from this inner decree, your world conforms to the majesty of your unshaken word.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: In a quiet moment, close your eyes, declare 'I am the I AM praising now,' and feel the inner chamber glow as your decree fills your entire being.
