Arrows Upon the Strings

Psalms 21:10-12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Psalms 21 in context

Scripture Focus

10Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.
11For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform.
12Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, when thou shalt make ready thine arrows upon thy strings against the face of them.
Psalms 21:10-12

Biblical Context

Those who plot against you will have their plans fail. Their schemes will be cut off and they will be forced to turn away.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your inner narrator reads the enemy as a separate power, but the truth in this psalm is that all so-called plots arise as states in your own consciousness. The 'fruit' and the 'seed' of them are but outcomes of belief; destruction of those fruits is the dissolution of fear by the I AM. The real weapon is awareness—your attention directed by creative, unconditioned assumption. When you imagine someone plotting against you, recognize it as a movement within you that can be revised. Affirm that you are the only power in your world, the I AM that destroys counterfeit devices with the certainty of truth. Your 'arrows upon thy strings' symbolize your focused thoughts and feelings turned toward justice, not toward retaliation. As you align with Providence, the urge to project harm recedes and the back-turning of the adversary appears as a natural consequence of inner alignment. The Psalm invites you to live as the one who sees through appearances, to let divine justice operate through your inner state rather than by outward struggle.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes, declare 'I AM,' and visualize the imagined plot dissolving into light. Then feel the inner certainty that Providence is turning the arrows away.
