Psalms 18:38-40 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Psalms 18 in context

Scripture Focus

38I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet.
39For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.
40Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me.
Psalms 18:38-40

Biblical Context

These verses describe a state of victory and empowerment: God grants strength for the struggle, and the speaker overcomes and places adversaries underfoot. It points to triumph that arises from alignment with I AM.

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice the scene is not about a history of armies, but about consciousness. The 'enemies' are inner conditions—fear, doubt, resistance—that have risen up against your true self. The line 'thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle' means you have been clothed with the mental energy of I AM, a new mindset that makes struggle harmless because you no longer identify with lack. When you imagine the adversaries fallen under your feet, you are rehearsing a revision: you rule the inner terrain, subduing every thought that would oppose your well-being. The necks of my enemies becoming mine to destroy translates to dissolving hostile attitudes by the certainty of your divine identity. The psalmist is not special; the technique is universal: awaken to your unity with God, and the external enemies melt as the inner state shifts. Practice from now: assume the consciousness that you stand tall in the battle, strengthened by the I AM, and observe how the inner scene aligns to match that claim.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and, standing in the feeling of I AM, declare: I AM strength for this battle. See hostile thoughts and fears dissolving and giving way to the victorious inner posture.
