Read Psalms 30 in context

Scripture Focus

6And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.

7LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.

8I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto the LORD I made supplication.

9What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?

10Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper.

11Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;

Psalms 30:6-11

Biblical Context

Prosperity makes us feel unmovable, a mountain in the mind, until God’s face is hidden and trouble arises. Prayer and mercy restore us, turning mourning into dancing.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, Psalm 30:6-11 speaks to the inner theatre of consciousness. You said, 'I shall never be moved' when your good fortune stood; yet the moment the I AM withdraws its face, disturbance arises because you have identified with the form rather than the formless ground. The cry 'Hear, O LORD' is not spoken to a distant sky but to the awareness you truly are; you revise the scene by recognizing that your life is sustained by the I AM, not by the appearance of mountains. The question 'What profit is there in my blood?' is the alarm of the sleeping mind, reminding you that death is only a belief, not the truth of your being. When you feel the Lord as helper, the mourning is turned to dancing, the sackcloth drops away, and gladness girds the heart. This is the inner restoration: a shift in consciousness from fear to faith, from separation to perfect union. Your circumstance changes because you know yourself as the I AM, the fountain of mercy and strength, forever restoring all things to joy.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: In a quiet moment, assume the I AM as your reality. Revise the scene so God's face shines on you, your mountain stands, and mourning gives way to dancing; then feel the gladness as real.
