Neville Goddard on Psalms 147:10-11 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Psalms 147 in context

Scripture Focus

10He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man.

11The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.

Psalms 147:10-11

Biblical Context

Psalm 147:10-11 says God does not prize military might or physical strength, but delights in those who revere Him and trust in His mercy.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's mood, the body’s strength is but a shadow of the inner state. God takes pleasure not in the horsepower of horses or the legs of men, but in the consciousness that fears (reverently regards) the I AM and places its hope in mercy. The verse invites you to shift your allegiance from outward power to inner, imaginative trust: the I AM is the living Lord who approves your state when you dwell in mercy and awe. The more you imagine yourself as one whom the Divine delights in, the more strength appears as a byproduct of a fixed attention—your mind's calm acceptance that mercy is your immediate reality. As you dwell there, past and future loosen their grip, and the world shifts to reflect your inward reverence and hopeful expectation.

Practice This Now

Assume for a moment: I am the beloved of God, delighting Him. Close your eyes, feel reverent awe, and let mercy fill your awareness until it becomes your experienced reality.
