Inner Protection from Snares
Psalms 141:9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 141 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse asks to be kept from snares which they have laid for me, and from the gins of the workers of iniquity.
Neville's Inner Vision
Psalm 141:9 is not a cry for external protection but an invitation to awaken to a fixed state of consciousness. The 'snares' and 'gins' are inner traps—patterns of fear, accusation, and opposition that arise within mind. When I esteem the I AM, the awareness that I am, I see that danger is a projection of thought and not a power in itself. Providence and Guidance flow as a natural function of consciousness, available the moment I refuse to identify with the alarm and align with the unassailable Presence within. This is spiritual warfare won by revision, by choosing to stand in the stead of safety rather than waiting for protection from without. Deliverance comes as I rest in the certainty that I AM shields and guides me, dissolving snares as I rest in that inner truth.
Practice This Now
Assume the state of protection now: say 'I AM kept from every snare' and feel a luminous shield surround you, affirming divine guidance in the present.
