8Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee.

9Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thine anger: the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them.

10Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.

Psalms 21:8-10

Biblical Context

The passage portrays divine action against enemies. Neville Goddard reframes this as the purification of inner foes—fear, anger, resentment—through the I AM.

Neville's Inner Vision

Thine enemies are not others but your own stubborn states of mind—fear, anger, resentment—that oppose peace. In Neville's terms, they are inner dispositions you treat as real players in your life. The \"hand\" and \"right hand\" are the I AM actively moving in consciousness to reveal and correct every thought that hates or doubts. The \"fiery oven in the time of anger\" is the furnace of awareness that burns away the false sense of separation, transforming it into oneness. The Lord swallowing them up by wrath symbolizes the divine fire dissolving their power over you, not destroying beings but erasing the hold of hostile patterns. \"Their fruit... and their seed\" refers to the habitual tendencies you might have passed along—now uprooted from your mental soil. By identifying with the I AM, you invoke Providence and Justice within, knowing your imagination has the power to re-script experiences. The psalm thus becomes a practical meditation: awaken to your inner sovereignty and let the inner fire purify your life.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the I AM as your sovereign state. Feel a bright inner fire dissolving fear and hostility, leaving your life in perfect alignment.
