Inner Psalm: Healing Through I Am

Psalms 38:1-11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Psalms 38 in context

Scripture Focus

1O LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
2For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore.
3There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.
4For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.
5My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness.
6I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.
7For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh.
8I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.
9Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee.
10My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.
11My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off.
Psalms 38:1-11

Biblical Context

Psalm 38:1-11 depicts a soul overwhelmed by guilt, illness, and loneliness, calling out for relief from perceived divine displeasure.

Neville's Inner Vision

Psalm 38:1-11 shows a soul crushed by guilt, illness, and isolation, crying out under an impression of divine anger. Neville Goddard teaches that there is no external wrath awaiting a person; all judgment arises as a state of consciousness you entertain. The 'arrows' and 'hand' pressing the body are symbols for stubborn thoughts you have embedded in your flesh by believing yourself separate from the I AM. The heaviness in the bones, the roars of the heart, the sense of being neglected by friends—all of this is an inner climate you have cultivated. When you awaken to the truth that you are the I AM, the offender and the offended are one; you cease feeding the old image and begin living from a new impression. The psalmist's cries become opportunities to revise: redraw the scene so the burden is dissolved, the wounds heal, and companionship returns as the inner perception of wholeness. Your task is to stand in the state of healing now, and let the outer world reflect that inner alignment.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Assume you are already forgiven and whole; feel the I AM steadying the heart, easing the body, and drawing friends and health back into your life.
