Dance of Divine Praise
Psalms 149:3-5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 149 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The passage invites the faithful to praise with dance and song, claims God takes pleasure in His people, and teaches the meek to rest in salvation, while the saints rejoice and sing even in bed.
Neville's Inner Vision
Psalms 149:3-5 becomes a map for inner ignition. The dance, the timbrel, and the harp symbolize the living rhythms of your consciousness— movements of imagination—through which you commune with the I AM. When you imagine praising, you are not performing for an external deity but aligning with the divine awareness that you are. God’s pleasure in His people indicates your own beloved status in the inner witness of awareness, and the promise to beautify the meek with salvation is an inner transformation—the soul’s beautification that comes as you identify with your true nature. Let the saints be joyful in glory and sing upon their beds: this is a call to rest in the kingdom within, where joy is the natural atmosphere. Your outer world becomes a reflection of this inner state as you dwell in the truth of your oneness with the divine life in you.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume you are already in the act of praise; feel the I AM moving as your inner musician, and rest on your bed affirming, 'I am joyful now, I am saved, I am divine.'
