Inner Praise and Restoration
Psalms 147:1-2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 147 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Psalm 147:1-2 invites praise as good and pleasant, and speaks of God building up Jerusalem by gathering the outcasts; it points to inner restoration through worship.
Neville's Inner Vision
Imagine the LORD not as a far-off ruler, but as your I AM, the undivided consciousness you dwell in. When you praise, you align with that consciousness and grant it permission to move in your inner city. 'It is good to sing praises unto our God' becomes a statement of inner alignment; the habit of celebration invites a restoration that begins in spirit and ripples into feeling. The 'Jerusalem' mentioned is your inner state—order, unity, worship—in which every forgotten part is re-membered. The 'outcasts of Israel' are the thoughts and wounds you have pushed to the margins. In this light, praise functions as a revision of memory: as you declare and feel the presence, the outcasts are gathered, their estrangement dissolves, and your life is rebuilt on the rock of awareness. You are not begging; you are recognizing what is already true in I AM. So choose to feel that you are being built up by divine power, that the city is restored within you, and that joy and presence now define your days.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, place your hand on your chest, and repeat, 'I am the praise of the Lord, I am being built up.' Then imagine Jerusalem rising inside you, the outcasts gathered around the walls, and let the feeling of restoration flood your heart.
