Psalms 17:1-2

Biblical Context

The psalm asks God to hear the right and attend to a sincere cry, and to let the decision emerge from God's presence where fairness is seen.

Neville's Inner Vision

Psalm 17:1-2 is a call to step inside your own consciousness. Hear the right means align your inner state with what is true, not with fear or pretense. The LORD in this reading is your I AM; attend unto my cry is the moment you listen to the call of your own awareness when it rises in sincerity. Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal signals that your inner standard tilts toward balance and justice. The injunction to let thine eyes behold the things that are equal invites you to trust an inner verdict that respects equality, fairness, and proportion. As you dwell in the awareness that you are always heard by the I AM, you dissolve doubt and create harmony. Your petition becomes an alignment of your life with truth, not a plea. By applying Neville's principle that imagination creates reality, you practice the feeling and state that returns a world shaped by inner justice and authentic speech.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly, assume you are already heard by the I AM, and feel the truth of fair, sincere speech flowing from your presence. If you slip into insincerity, revise the thought and re-enter the felt sense of being heard and judged with justice.
