Rising Mercy Within Psalm 41
Psalms 41:10-11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Biblical Context
Psalm 41:10-11 offers a plea for mercy and uplift, with the assurance that divine favor prevents the enemy's triumph. It frames mercy and rise as an inner confidence, not merely an external rescue.
Neville's Inner Vision
In the Neville sense, the words are not a petition to a distant God but an inner doctrine of the I AM. “Be merciful unto me” becomes a decision to release lack and rest in the merciful nature of consciousness itself. “Raise me up, that I may requite them” becomes rising in awareness to a vantage from which action proceeds from the higher self rather than grievance, so true response becomes possible. “By this I know that thou favourest me” is the felt proof that the inner state governs the outer scene; when I acknowledge the I AM as my very life, the sense of being favored becomes immediate, and the illusion of enemy-takeover loses its grip. Mercy, favor, and uplift are not external favors but the steady realization of the I AM’s benevolent presence. The outer world rearranges to reflect the inward truth I hold about myself, not to appease hostile appearances but to confirm the truth of my divine nature.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and assume the feeling: I am merciful unto me; I am raised up; the I AM favors me. Sit in that state long enough for it to become your immediate sense of self, then step into your day from that elevated consciousness.
