Inner Integrity of Psalms

Psalms 18:22-24 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Psalms 18 in context

Scripture Focus

22For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.
23I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.
24Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
Psalms 18:22-24

Biblical Context

By keeping God's judgments and statutes and avoiding iniquity, the psalmist stays upright before God; he experiences recompense according to righteousness and the cleanliness of his hands.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the Neville Goddard sense, the verses speak not of external ritual but of your inner life. All the judgments of God correspond to the inner verdicts you render within your own awareness; the statutes are the indwelling laws you refuse to cast aside. To be upright before Him is to dwell in alignment with that inner law, and to keep yourself from mine iniquity is to cleanse thought and motive, to suspend any self-deception that corrupts your purity. When you maintain this inner discipline, recompense appears as a natural reflection of your inner state—the cleanness of your hands becomes visible in your actions, words, and relationships. This is not about earning favor through works, but about the consistency of your consciousness. Begin now by assuming you are upright before the inner court, and revise any limiting thought until it mirrors the standard you hold. In such fidelity, the surrounding world reveals the light of an aligned mind.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Assume the state 'I am upright before the inner law,' then revise any sense of guilt into a vow of purity and feel-it-real by picturing your world reflecting the cleanness of your hands in this moment.
