Read Psalms 25 in context

Scripture Focus

1Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.

2O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.

3Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.

Psalms 25:1-3

Biblical Context

The psalmist lifts his soul to the LORD, trusting God and asking not to be ashamed. It promises that those who wait on divine presence will not be put to shame, while rash acts without cause invite shaming.

Neville's Inner Vision

To read Psalm 25:1-3 through Neville Goddard's lens is to see the LORD as the I AM within, the perpetual awareness you can consciously inhabit. Lifting up the soul is a deliberate turn of attention from external stimuli to the one reality you are: the still, attentive I AM. When the psalmist declares, 'O my God, I trust in thee,' he is practicing trust as a state of consciousness, not a plea for external aid. Trust becomes the living conviction that you are eternally held by the presence that never abandons you. The lines about not being ashamed for those who wait on thee reveal a rule: as you linger in this inner presence, you discredit fear and its 'enemies' by insisting on your inner alignment. Waiting, in Neville’s terms, is not passive but a sustaining assumption—an inner posture that the good is already yours. The warning about those who transgress without cause is a reminder that doubt games with your peace; resist them by returning to the I AM, and you will find the outer world follows your inner alignment, naturally, without struggle.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume you are already held by the I AM. Lift your inner gaze to that still center and feel trust saturate your whole being as if the good you seek is already yours.
