Neville Goddard on Psalms 28:3-5 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Psalms 28 in context

Scripture Focus

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.

Psalms 28:3-5

Biblical Context

Psalm 28:3-5 warns not to align with the wicked or their deceptive peace. It teaches that deeds and inner intent determine what comes to pass, according to the divine order within your own awareness.

Neville's Inner Vision

Draw me not away becomes a declaration of the mind’s refusal to be pulled into a split, a divided state. The wicked and the workers of iniquity are not distant people but inner states that pretend to offer peace while harboring mischief in the heart. In this light, to give them according to their deeds is not a punishment but the law of consciousness: you experience the outer world as the echo of your inner intensity. If you dwell in fear, judgment, or the belief that others govern your life, you reproduce those images and invite their return as circumstance. To render to them their desert is to allow inner causes to meet their own consequences by ceasing to entertain such thoughts. Because they regard not the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his hands, you are invited to recognize that the true hands at work are the operations of your own mind. The psalm becomes a map: withdraw from counterfeit images, align with the I AM, and let your life be built up by the divine order within you.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, breathe into the I AM, and assume you are already guided by divine order. Revise any judgment of others as thoughts in your own consciousness, and hold the feeling of a life built by inner righteousness.
