Neville Goddard on Psalms 14:2-6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Psalms 14 in context

Scripture Focus

2The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.

3They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

4Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD.

5There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous.

6Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD is his refuge.

Psalms 14:2-6

Biblical Context

The LORD looks from heaven to find those who understand and seek God. The passage notes widespread corruption, yet promises refuge for the righteous.

Neville's Inner Vision

Can you hear the LORD looking down within you, not as distant law but as your I AM? In this moment the 'they' and 'they are all gone aside' are simply states of mind that wander away from living awareness. The verse asks if there are any who understand and seek God; I answer: I am the one who understands by turning attention inward, who seeks Divinity in the still center of consciousness. The fear that arises when one forgets this is not my essence but a temporary misalignment; remember that God is in the generation of the righteous—the state of being that chooses truth, compassion, and alignment with divine order. When I acknowledgment that I am seen, I awaken to the fact that the 'refuge' is not a place but an awareness I carry. The suggestion is clear: the Lord in my inner heaven observes and approves when I dwell in the consciousness of right action and seek God with quiet sincerity. My awareness shifts the world I call outside; through inner alignment, I no longer fear, and the illusion of separation dissolves into unity.
