Neville Goddard on Psalms 33:16-19 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Psalms 33 in context

Scripture Focus

16There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.

17An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.

18Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;

19To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.

Psalms 33:16-19

Biblical Context

The psalmist declares that no king or mighty army can save; true safety and deliverance come from the eye of the LORD resting on those who fear Him and hope in His mercy.

Neville's Inner Vision

Behold the teaching: nations with hosts and horses amount to nothing in the economy of God. In Neville terms, the outer king, the mighty man, the horse, and their strength are only signs of a state of consciousness. The eye of the LORD fixed on those who fear Him and hope in His mercy is the awareness you must claim as your own. When you believe you are saved by armies or strength, you deny your true source; when you shift to the I AM—the unwavering attention of consciousness—you discover life is sustained by mercy rather than by force. The verse points to deliverance not as a future event, but as a present realization: your soul is saved from death and kept alive in famine by the merciful, attentive Presence that watches over you. This is the inner economy: you revise the picture, withdraw trust from outward power, and rest in the assurance that God’s eye is on you now, because you fear and trust in mercy.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit quietly, assume you are already delivered, and feel the I AM watching over you. Repeat I AM delivered until the sense of safety settles as your new reality.
