Neville Goddard on Psalms 141:6-9 - 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.

Psalms 141:6-9

Biblical Context

Psalm 141:6-9 presents a scene of divine protection and vindication. The speaker trusts God, asks to be kept from snares, and keeps their gaze on the inner presence.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the Neville lens, these lines describe states of consciousness under the Law of Assumption. The judges overthrown in stony places are the convulsions of fear and doubt in the mind when you assume a higher awareness. The sweetness of their words indicates that once you have stabilized your inner speech in the I AM, your spoken words become nourishing; they vibrate with the truth you accept. The bones scattered at the grave mouth represent fragmentation when you are not aligned, but the remedy is to turn attention to the God within, to seek the present presence rather than the external scene. The eyes unto thee is your turning point: trust is not a mere belief but an act of attention to the I AM. The snares and gins of iniquity are internal habits you can dissolve by revision: replace the image of danger with the image of protection and flow. When you persist in this inner posture, your outer circumstances bend to reflect the security of your divine state.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and assume the I AM surrounding you with protective presence; revise the scene by affirming I am safe now, the snares cannot reach me. Feel this as real for a minute.
