Read Psalms 149 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Psalm 149:1 invites praising the LORD with a new song in the congregation of saints. It emphasizes personal devotion joined with communal worship.
Neville's Inner Vision
To read Psalm 149:1 through Neville Goddard’s lens, hear the LORD as the I AM within you. The 'new song' is a renewal of your state of consciousness, a fresh claim of being aware as the very force that creates. The 'congregation of saints' becomes an inner assembly—your higher faculties, virtues, and inspired impulses—gathered in the throne-room of your mind. When you praise, you align your attention with the truth that God is consciousness, not a distant person. Your act of praise is an inner act of imagining what you desire as already present, not begging outside results but acknowledging you are already complete in the I AM. The verse invites you to raise your inner disposition until the melody of life itself responds in harmony; as you dwell in the I AM and rehearse the new song, the outer world begins reflecting your inner chorus.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and declare, 'I AM here, I praise now,' and hold the feeling of complete presence for 1–3 minutes. Let the inner choir rise, your new song filling the inner congregation.
