Biblical Context
The psalm speaks of enacting judgment on the heathen and punishment on the people, binding their kings and nobles, and executing the written judgment; this honor is given to all saints.
Neville's Inner Vision
To the Neville reader, this psalm reveals the inner court where you, as the I AM, exercise sovereignty over thought and feeling. The 'heathen' and 'the people' are not nations but the restless, unrenewed states within you; to 'execute vengeance' is to decisively end the tyrannies of doubt, fear, and lack by refusing to energize them. The line about binding their 'kings' with chains and their 'nobles' with fetters of iron becomes a lesson in disciplining dominant mental images and habitual judgments. 'The judgment written' is the immutable law inscribed upon your own consciousness—the awareness that you are the one who creates, not the victim of circumstance. When you saints assume this inner kingship, you honor the decree already established within you: you are not the body of problems but the aware center that commands them. By dwelling in this state, you align outer events with your inner order, and what once seemed external obeys the inner authority you have reaffirmed.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly and picture yourself seated on an inner throne, the I AM sovereign over every thought. Say, 'I am the I AM,' and revise any anxious scene to a state of settled order, feeling it real until it becomes your lived experience.
