Neville Goddard on Psalms 141:7-9 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Psalms 141 in context

Scripture Focus

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 141:7-9

Biblical Context

The psalm acknowledges vulnerability and fear of death, then turns to God in trust, asking to be kept safe from snares and from the schemes of the wicked.

Neville's Inner Vision

Its message is not about geography, but about consciousness. When the bones seem scattered at the grave's mouth, that is the old scene of separation, not your true being. The I AM, your inner awareness, remains undisturbed. When you declare, 'mine eyes are unto Thee, O God the Lord,' you are not supplicating a distant power; you are turning your focus to the inner divine I AM that keeps you. 'In thee is my trust' becomes the living conviction that God’s presence is the operating consciousness behind every circumstance. 'Leave not my soul destitute' becomes a revision: you refuse lack and rest in the wholeness created by the divine I AM. The snares of iniquity are merely thoughts—subtle fears, temptations, or guilty judgments—that would entangle your mind. By fixing your gaze within and assuming the truth of God’s protection, you render the outer scene compliant to the inward premise. Safekeeping is a state you assume, not a condition you petition for; the inner state reformats the world to reflect it.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and affirm I AM keeps me and I trust in Thee; no snare can undo my inner security. Visualize a radiant protective light surrounding you as you hold to the divine I AM until fear subsides.
