Inner Cry, Divine Hearing

Psalms 18:4-6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Psalms 18 in context

Scripture Focus

4The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.
5The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me.
6In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.
Psalms 18:4-6

Biblical Context

The psalm describes being surrounded by deep sorrows and fear from adversaries. It then shows calling on the LORD in distress and being heard from the inner temple.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this psalm, the sorrows and floods of fear are not external armies but conditions of your own consciousness. They arise as thoughts that seem larger than you, threatening to overwhelm your sense of self. When you 'call upon the LORD,' you are not begging a distant deity; you are turning your attention to the I AM within—the temple of awareness where your true identity resides. The cry that goes 'before Him' is your conscious statement of alignment, entering the ears of your eternal presence. To be 'heard' means your state has shifted: you have assumed a different being-ness, a reality of wholeness that dissolves the fear. The distress dissolves as you dwell in the conviction that you are listened to by the I AM, and thus the outer symptoms recede into inner calm. Practice is simple: hold fast to the inner hearing, reaffirm that your request is already granted, and feel the relief as your inner temple answers.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Assume 'I am heard' in the temple of your consciousness, and feel the response as already real. Persist in that feeling until distress softens into peace.
