Psalm 38:3-8 Inner Restoration

Psalms 38:3-8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Psalms 38 in context

Scripture Focus

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.
Psalms 38:3-8

Biblical Context

Psalm 38:3-8 depicts physical distress and a heavy sense of guilt, with no relief or rest, as the speaker mourns under the burden of sin. It hints at an inner state that can be changed by turning to the I AM within and choosing a new reality.

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse by verse the psalm reveals not a mere external affliction but a state the mind has grown into. When the words speak of anger against the flesh and the bones filled with guilt, hear them as inner movements of a consciousness that believes separation from the I AM. The body here is not a prison but a map: soundness and rest appear only when awareness regains its unity with the divine I AM, the original self that feels and knows all. The line mine iniquities are gone over mine head becomes the moment you stop carrying a false burden of guilt and release it into the light of awareness. Your wounds stink, your loins are diseased, your heart is disquieted - these are images formed by a mind convinced of sin, not fixed facts. In Neville's terms, change the state, not the matter: assume the feeling of wholeness, rest, and ease now as your true nature. The renewal comes as you align with I AM, and the felt sense of restoration follows.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and repeat, I am the I AM; I release all guilt and rest returns to my body. Feel the inner ease permeate every bone as I awaken to wholeness.
