Read Psalms 146 in context

Scripture Focus

6Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever:

7Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners:

8The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous:

9The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.

10The LORD shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD.

Psalms 146:6-10

Biblical Context

Psalm 146:6-10 presents God as Creator and upholder of truth who judges the oppressed, feeds the hungry, frees prisoners, opens the eyes of the blind, and protects the vulnerable. It ends with the assurance that the Lord shall reign forever.

Neville's Inner Vision

Read as a map of inner life, the verses reveal that the heaven and the earth are images of your mind aligned to truth. The Lord who keeps truth for ever is your unchanging awareness; to imagine is to enact judgment, nourishment, release, healing, and protection within your consciousness. When you identify with the I AM, you loosen inner prisoners of fear, open the eyes of your inner sight, and raise what is bowed in your soul. To preserve the stranger and relieve the fatherless and widow is to welcome new aspects of yourself and nurture the vulnerable places within. The final promise that the Lord shall reign forever becomes the assurance that this sovereign awareness remains constant, regardless of outward appearances, inviting you to live as the crowned ruler of your inner kingdom.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly and assume the state of I AM, declaring you reign now over your inner life. Feel the act as if your inner world is fed, freed, and opened by that presence.
