Neville Goddard on Psalms 37:1 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Psalms 37 in context

Scripture Focus

1Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.

Psalms 37:1

Biblical Context

Do not fret or envy over those who seem to prosper by wrongdoing. Cultivate inward trust and the I AM as your true center.

Neville's Inner Vision

When the psalmist warns against fretting, know it as a call to withhold attention from the inner cinema of fear. Evildoers and workers of iniquity are inner movements—fretting, envy, and doubt—that arise whenever you forget your divine state. If you feed them with focus, they seem to take form; withheld attention causes them to vanish. The I AM within you is the steady watcher, the unshaken reality through which all appearances pass. True trust is not denial of hardship but assurance that the kingdom is within and will express as harmony when you return your awareness to it. Practice conscious assumption: imagine the presence of the I AM already at work in you and through you, feeling the wish fulfilled as peace, discernment, and endurance.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Quiet your mind, place attention on the I AM within, and revise the idea of evildoers as inner movements. Feel the peace as already real, and let that feeling color your next moment.
