Read Psalms 31 in context

Scripture Focus

4Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for thou art my strength.

5Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O LORD God of truth.

Psalms 31:4-5

Biblical Context

Psalm 31:4-5 speaks of being pulled from a hidden net and placing the spirit into the safe hands of truth, affirming strength in the I AM and redemption through faith. In Neville’s light, the nets are mental states, and redemption is a present conversion of fear into truth.

Neville's Inner Vision

Psalm 31:4–5 becomes a map of inner geometry. The net is not a trap laid by others in the world, but a belief that you have allowed to entangle your mind. When the psalmist pleads pull me out, he is naming a shift of awareness from limitation to the I AM—the indwelling power that you are and that never yields to circumstance. Thou art my strength anchors the claim that your true force is consciousness alive to possibility, not force external to you. Into thine hand I commit my spirit is a practical revision: abandon the old story of self-sufficiency and surrender the narrative to the truth you know within. The phrase thou hast redeemed me releases a present sense of deliverance—redemption precedes experience, in the imagination you affirm the outcome and then live from it. Finally, thou LORD God of truth identifies the source as immutable inner truth. Live as one who trusts this truth, and your life will reveal the deliverance you already imagined.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and assume you are already out of the net. Feel the I AM lifting you, and revise any fear to faith by standing in the truth you know within.
