Neville Goddard on Psalms 144:5-10 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Psalms 144 in context

Scripture Focus

5Bow thy heavens, O LORD, and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.

6Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out thine arrows, and destroy them.

7Send thine hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of strange children;

8Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

9I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: upon a psaltery and an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee.

10It is he that giveth salvation unto kings: who delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword.

Psalms 144:5-10

Biblical Context

Psalm 144:5-10 presents a cry for divine rescue from peril, followed by a vow to sing and praise. It points to an inner sovereignty where true deliverance comes from God as the power of consciousness.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this psalm you are invited to bend your inner heavens and let the I AM descend into your awareness, causing the mountains of fixed belief to smoke away. The lightning and arrows are the flashes of realization that scatter the illusions of danger; the 'great waters' are the emotional tides you feel when fear or doubt rise from the 'strange children' whose vanity and false right hands would rule you. Yet the singer declares a new song—an inner renewal—sung with the instruments of your own consciousness. The line that God 'giveth salvation unto kings' speaks to you: you are the king of your inner kingdom, delivered not by outward rescue but by awakening your servant-self to trust the power within. When you align with the I AM, you are saved from the hurtful sword of past identifications and you move in a new harmony with life.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the feeling of being delivered. Imagine the heavens bowing over your life as the storms dissolve and you sing a fresh psalm.
