Neville Goddard on Psalms 14:3-6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Psalms 14 in context

Scripture Focus

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 14:3-6

Biblical Context

The passage contrasts universal human fallibility with the security afforded to the righteous who call on the Lord. It also affirms God as a refuge for the humble and poor.

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse 3–6 speaks not of others out there but of states of consciousness within you. In Neville’s manner, the ‘wicked’ are the belief that you are separate from the I AM, the mind running on fear and egoic traction. The line that there is none who does good becomes a pointer to shift—not a condemnation, but a signal to revise your identification. The 'generation of the righteous' is the presence of God within awareness, the Immanent Lord who is always nearer than your breath. When you acknowledge the I AM as your constant refuge, the imagined dangers dissolve into light. The true counsel is the inward whisper of truth, the quiet sense that you are already loved and provided for. Fear rises only when you forget this inner king; fear recedes when you remember that God is the living I AM in you. So Psalm 14 invites you to dwell in the realization that righteousness is an inner fact, not a condition of outward perception; your life will follow the consciousness you choose to entertain.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: In a quiet moment, assume the state 'I AM is my refuge' and feel it real; visualize a sphere of light enfolding you as you rest in that awareness for a few minutes.
