Read Psalms 40 in context

Scripture Focus

13Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help me.
14Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.
Psalms 40:13-14

Biblical Context

The psalm pleads for immediate deliverance and help, then prays that those who plot against the speaker be ashamed.

Neville's Inner Vision

Observe that the words are not asking for God to change outside you, but for the one who is conscious to awaken to a new state. 'Deliver me' becomes the I AM affirming its own power to protect and supply. When the verse asks for speed, it signals the immediacy of a revised consciousness—once you truly assume the feeling that you are already helped, help arrives as a natural consequence of your inner state. The forces that seek your soul’s ruin are not distant enemies but doubts, fears, and old identifications you still entertain. To put them to shame, to drive them backward, is simply to turn away from the old picture and orient your mind toward the inner kingdom you already are. God is not a person apart but the awareness, the I AM, present here and now. As you dwell in that awareness, the desire for deliverance dissolves into certainty, and the sense of being protected follows. Your life then unfolds in accord with your revised assumption, and “help” comes quickly because it is the natural activity of your own consciousness.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and assume the state of being delivered now; feel the relief as a present fact and begin to act from that certainty.
