Neville Goddard on Psalms 33:1-11 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Psalms 33 in context

Scripture Focus

1Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright.

2Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.

3Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.

4For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done in truth.

5He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD.

6By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.

7He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses.

8Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.

9For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.

10The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect.

11The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.

Psalms 33:1-11

Biblical Context

Plainly, the psalm invites the upright to rejoice and praise the Lord, for His word is right and all His works are true. It declares that His counsel endures forever and that the earth is filled with His goodness.

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville Goddard perspective, the verses reveal that the world you see is the outerization of an inner state. Rejoice is a decision of consciousness; praise is the frequency by which you tune your mind to the reality that the Word of the Lord is right and that truth governs all that appears. When you imagine the heavens formed by the breath of your own awareness, you align with the same creative force that orders galaxies. The 'counsel of the heathen' may rage in the outer world, but in your inner kingdom its plans collapse when you accept the divine plan as your own. The Lord’s word becomes your inner law, since your awareness is the vessel through which reality is poured. By feeling the awe of His majesty, you invite righteousness and judgment as a habitual stance, knowing that the earth and all its wonders are the goodness of the Lord in expression. Trust that the thoughts of your heart, when aligned with the divine, stand forever and guide every generation of your life.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Sit quietly and revise your state to 'I AM the righteousness of the Lord' and feel the truth of that being. Then declare, 'The counsel of the Lord stands forever,' letting that assurance shape your day.
