Read Psalms 146 in context

Scripture Focus

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.

Psalms 146:7-9

Biblical Context

Psalm 146:7-9 presents God as the one who judges the oppressed, feeds the hungry, frees prisoners, opens the eyes of the blind, and upholds the vulnerable; the wicked's ways are overturned. This points to inner states of consciousness that unfold when one aligns with the I AM.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's reading, the LORD is not a distant deity but your own I AM, the awareness that orders experience. The oppressed, hungry, prisoners, blind, bowed down, strangers, fatherless, and widow are inner states of consciousness rather than external places. When you identify with the I AM, you enact judgment for the oppressed by discarding lack and limitation; you feed the hungry by nourishing your inner desire for sufficiency; you loosen the prisoners by releasing false identities. Open eyes of the blind becomes inner discernment; raising those bowed down becomes genuine confidence and ease. The LORD loves the righteous when you embody integrity and alignment; preserving the stranger and relieving the fatherless and widow is the tender inclusion of all aspects of self. The overturning of the wicked's way is the reversal of habitual thought as you insist the truth of I AM as your sole governor. This is the living scripture of your present experience.

Practice This Now

Assume the state of I AM now; feel the relief of every inner prisoner loosened and every hungry desire nourished. See in your mind the blind opening, the bowed becoming upright, and the stranger welcomed—watch old patterns turn upside down and fade.
