Neville Goddard on Psalms 141:6-10 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Psalms 141 in context

Scripture Focus

6When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.

7Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth.

8But mine eyes are unto thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute.

9Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity.

10Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape.

Psalms 141:6-10

Biblical Context

The psalmist describes danger and snares but remains steadfast in God, asking for protection and deliverance while keeping faith in the Lord.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the verses as a map of your inner world. The 'overthrown judges in stony places' signals the collapse of old beliefs in your mind when you decide that the I AM is the only ruler of your reality. The 'eyes unto thee' becomes the discipline of attention—you choose the divine presence as the ruler of your scene. The 'snares' and 'nets' are merely thoughts you have believed; by assuming you are already free and feeling it in your heart, those snares lose their pull. The verse's command that the wicked fall into their own nets while you escape points to a practical revision: keep your mind anchored in the belief of safety and liberation, and reality will rearrange to match that inner state. In this way Providence and Presence become your lived experience, and you awaken to a scene where you are protected, guided, and restored.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit, breathe, and declare, 'I am the I AM; in me, all snares dissolve.' Visualize walking peacefully through nets into light, already protected by Presence.
