Inner Shield Psalm 28:3-7

Psalms 28:3-7 - A Neville Goddard 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.
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.
Psalms 28:3-7

Biblical Context

David prays not to be drawn away by the wicked, who outwardly speak peace but inwardly cultivate mischief. He trusts the Lord as his strength and shield, acknowledges God’s listening to his prayers, and ends with joyful praise.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville’s mode, the 'wicked' and their 'mischief' are inner states of consciousness—the habitual thoughts that pretend peace while plotting separation. When I say, 'Draw me not away,' I am reasserting alignment with the I AM, not begging the world to change, but re-centering my attention on divine presence. The decree 'give them according to their deeds' translates to the inner law of life: I receive what I persist in believing. If I dwell in fear or doubt, I feel contraction; if I regard not the works of the LORD, I become aware of destruction in my world. So I return to the supplication within, letting the divine voice govern my day and recognizing that the LORD is my strength and shield. My heart trusts, I am helped, and joy rises into song. Providence is a correction of focus, not punishment—I'm always led to a higher sense of self where peace, protection, and praise are natural, living through my imagination as reality.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, place a hand on your chest, and affirm inwardly, 'The Lord is my strength and shield.' Then, imagine the I AM surrounding you with light, and feel your heart trust and rise in gratitude for protection and guidance.
