Inside Psalms: Presence and Correction

Psalms 39:10-12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Psalms 39 in context

Scripture Focus

10Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of thine hand.
11When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity, thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: surely every man is vanity. Selah.
12Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner, as all my fathers were.
Psalms 39:10-12

Biblical Context

David asks God to remove His stroke of discipline, acknowledging that correction reveals vanity and pain; he prays God will hear his cry as he remains a stranger and sojourner with God.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the stroke, the hand that disciplines, is a movement of consciousness, not a punishment laid upon a person. The I AM — your true self — shines, and the attempt to hold surface beauty fades like a moth-bit garment, so that vanity is seen and released. This is not a sentence but a clearing of perception, inviting you to rest in the Presence that never leaves. The cry in the psalm is your own recall: hear me, attend to my tears, for I am a traveler in a land that is not apart from God. You are not exiled; you are learning to live as the I AM beholding Itself. When you embrace this inner correction, you find that suffering dissolves as you revise your self-concept to match your divine nature. The correction becomes invitation, guiding you from fear to faith, from separation to eternal presence. You are the king and the subject; acknowledge both, and you awaken to a reality where God’s listening is your inner certainty.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, exhale, and declare 'I AM present now.' Revise the self-image to reflect complete presence, and feel the divine listening as your thoughts soften into peace.
