From Snare to Stillness

Psalms 140:5-6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Psalms 140 in context

Scripture Focus

5The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. Selah.
6I said unto the LORD, Thou art my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD.
Psalms 140:5-6

Biblical Context

The psalmist speaks of traps set by the proud. He turns to the LORD, declaring Him his God and asking to be heard.

Neville's Inner Vision

Remember that Psalms are not records of external battles but the movement of inner life. The snare and net are the restless thoughts that would bind you to fear, the forms of lack you believe are real in the outer street. In Neville's reading, the I AM is not a distant deity but your own living awareness, the witness that sees through every cord and net. When the psalmist says Thou art my God, he aligns his inner state with the truth that God is present as I AM, the steady listener to your supplications. The moment you feel those cords, invite a silent Selah—pause, revise, and imagine your mind returning to its original state of security. Prayer becomes not a plea for mercy from outside but a re-typing of your inner script: you speak, and the universe echoes in response to your belief in your own divinity. The threats are only projections; your awareness can dissolve them by recognizing the protective presence that already is.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, declare I am the I AM and that you hear your own supplications. Then revise the sense of danger by imagining the cords dissolving into light.
