Neville Goddard on Psalms 28:1-9 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Psalms 28 in context

Scripture Focus

1Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit.

2Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.

3Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts.

4Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavours: give them after the work of their hands; render to them their desert.

5Because they regard not the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them up.

6Blessed be the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.

7The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.

8The LORD is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed.

9Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up for ever.

Psalms 28:1-9

Biblical Context

David cries to the Lord, acknowledging God as his rock and defense, and asks not to be left unheard. The psalm closes with gratitude, declaring the Lord as strength, shield, savior, and provider for his people.

Neville's Inner Vision

I tell you, the 'LORD' is not a far-off being but the I AM within you—the awareness that never stays silent. When you cry, you are not begging an exterior deity; you are waking to the state you already are. The rock is your unshakable consciousness beneath the tides of fear and error; the shield is the protection of attention rightly fixed on the Present. The wicked and their feigned peace are restless thoughts that pretend to help while pulling you into separation; observe their claims and return to the inner oracle—the quiet, true nature you harbor. Because you neglect the works of the LORD, you permit inner trouble; but when you turn, trust, and call, you experience protection, healing, and uplift. The LORD is your strength; your heart trusts and is helped, and your song of praise rises as proof of the realized state. The anointed within you is the indwelling I AM, empowered to save and bless, sustaining you now and forever.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and declare, I AM the rock and shield now. Hold the felt sense of being heard, and let gratitude rise as your inner state solidifies.
