Presence of Inner Justice
Psalms 17:2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 17 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Your words should arise from the Presence within, not from fear or bias. The eye of the divine sees only what is equal and just, inviting a life aligned with truth and fairness.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within you, the 'sentence' is an inner act of consciousness. When you say Let my sentence come forth from thy presence, you are claiming that your speech and decisions start in the I AM, the Presence that never wavers. The 'eyes that behold the things that are equal' are the eyes of your own awareness, perceiving life through the standard of justice, not through outer appearances. Neville's teaching says your imagination is the solvent of reality: if you want fair treatment, you must imagine it as already true, and feel the state as present. So you revise your inner script until your words carry the authority of presence: calm, confident, and fair. Each moment is a mirror; as you inhabit the attribute of equality—truthfulness, fairness, and fidelity—you will see situations and people respond in kind. The verse is not asking God to judge from outside; it invites you to awaken to the inner judge, the I AM within, whose verdict is always just. When you dwell in that awareness, your sentence carries the weight of law and love, and life itself becomes equal toward you.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, feel the Presence as the source of your next sentence, and revise your speech to arise from that source; then imagine the other party receiving it with fairness and equality, and let the feeling of it being true rise in you.
