Psalms 150:3-5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 150 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Psalm 150:3-5 urges praising God with a full, joyful orchestration of instruments—trumpet, psaltery, harp, timbrel, dance, stringed instruments, organs, and cymbals—as an outward expression of wholehearted worship.
Neville's Inner Vision
In this psalm, the call to praise with trumpets, psaltery, harp, timbrel, dance, strings, organs, and cymbals is not a request for external ritual but a map of inner state. Each instrument stands for a facet of awareness you train to serve the I AM within. The trumpet proclaims a clear, decisive call to the present moment; the psaltery and harp tune your thoughts to gratitude; the timbrel and dance set your inner energy in motion; the stringed instruments and organs harmonize belief and will; the loud cymbals insist on emphatic perception of the good. When you imagine praising in this manner, you rehearse the alignment of your feelings with your true identity, not chase an outcome. The praise is the mind’s realignment to the I AM, and outward circumstances follow your inner tempo. By returning again and again to this inner concert, you awaken a unity of consciousness that resonates as experience.
Practice This Now
Sit quietly, choose one instrument to embody a quality (trumpet for bold faith, harp for gratitude), declare I am praising now and feel the corresponding inner note resonate in your chest, expanding through your body.
