Neville Goddard on Psalms 32:1-11 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Psalms 32 in context

Scripture Focus

1Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.

2Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.

3When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long.

4For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.

5I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

6For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.

7Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.

8I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.

9Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.

10Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.

11Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.

Psalms 32:1-11

Biblical Context

The psalm proclaims blessedness for those whose sins are forgiven. It shows that confession, trust, and inner turning restore peace, protection, and joy.

Neville's Inner Vision

I hear this psalm as a map of the inner man. Forgiveness is not a distant act of the past but a change in the color of your inner sight. When I believed my fault defined me, my energy dried up, my voice grew quiet, and the feeling of heaviness pressed in—the inner weather of suppression. As I unseal the truth and acknowledge the misalignment to the I AM, the whole frame of consciousness shifts: the gaol of guilt melts into light, and the sense of guilt is no longer imputing to me. The Lord (the I AM) stops accounting for my fall when I choose to own my awareness and release the charge. Then the time when you may be found—this is now; you pray with a heart open to guidance, and the floods of great waters are calmed by a protecting presence. You are offered a hiding place in the very center of your being, where a rhythm of deliverance circles you. I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way thou shalt go; the inner teacher, the I AM, guides by a quiet seeing. Do not be like the horse; cultivate inner discernment and faith, and mercy surrounds the one who trusts. Joy follows.

Practice This Now

Assume the feeling of forgiveness now: close your eyes, breathe, and declare 'I am the I AM, forgiven and guided.' Let the sense of guilt dissolve into gratitude as you rest in your inner hiding place.
