Scripture Focus

3But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.

4I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.

5I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.

6I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.

7Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.

Psalms 3:3-7

Biblical Context

David proclaims God as his shield, declares his head lifted in divine support, and trusts that God sustains him through sleep and fear. He faces enemies without dread, confident that the Lord will arise to save.

Neville's Inner Vision

To read Psalm 3:3-7 in Neville's key, you hear that God is not a distant rescuer but your I AM, the conscious light that lifts your head above fear. The shield is your own belief in protection, the glory you carry, the lifting of the chin by an inner assurance that says, I am safe here. When the psalmist cries, he is not appealing to a distant power but turning attention from external looking to the hill of inner awareness where the holy voice speaks. Sleep and awakening come as you rest in that sustained consciousness; fear of ten thousands dissolves because the mind has found its shield. Arise, and save me—this is your inner resolve to align with the divine order; enemies fall when consciousness declares victory. The smashing of enemies upon the cheek bone is the demonstration that antagonistic thoughts are dissolving when you inhabit the truth you now are. Stand, be still, and let your I AM do the lifting through you.
