Inner Praise in Psalm 33

Neville's Inner Vision

Psalm 33 is spoken to the I AM within, not to an external choir. Rejoice in the LORD becomes an inner acknowledgment: I am in right relationship with Reality, and the sound you hear is the cadence of your own consciousness attuned to praise. The harp, the psaltery, and the ten-string instrument are symbols for the disciplined faculties—imagination, attention, feeling. When you imagine yourself as the upright, you begin to sing a new song because you have shifted into a new state of consciousness, a habitual tone of gratitude that resists fear. To play skilfully with a loud noise is to feel the victorious energy of the Presence actively in your life—inside first, then outward as your inner note shapes your days. The Presence is not distant; it is the very pattern of your awareness. By aligning with this truth—praise as your natural condition—you enact the scripture. The outward music is only the echo of your inward alignment, showing that God, as I AM, governs all you perceive.
