Neville Goddard on Psalms 30:6-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

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.

Psalms 30:6-7

Biblical Context

Ps 30:6-7 presents boastful security in prosperity, followed by a divine seeming withdrawal that unsettles the speaker; true safety comes from anchoring in the I AM rather than outward success.

Neville's Inner Vision

To me, Psalms 30:6-7 becomes a drama of consciousness, not a weather report. The mountain that stands in prosperity is but a symbol—an inner state of settled confidence that is kept alive by the I AM, the awareness that never truly leaves. When the verse says the Lord hid His face and the speaker was troubled, I hear a call to revise: trouble arises not from lack, but from interpreting appearances as reality. If I insist that prosperity is secure because of some outer favour, I will be moved whenever the scene changes. Yet if I anchor myself in divine favor as an inner disposition—an unshakable awareness of the I AM—then the mountain remains steady regardless of the scene. The revolution is simple: make the inner conviction real, feel it as now. The 'hiding' is a nudge to deepen trust, to let the I AM rise from within as the true foundation of all supply. So I repeat, not with pride, but with quiet certainty: I am governed by infinite favor within; my prosperity is the state of consciousness, and I am not moved.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, recall a moment of prosperity, and revise it by affirming: 'This is the proof of I AM's inner favor; my mountain stands firm.' Then feel that certainty as if it is happening now.
