Biblical Context
The speaker asks God to judge and plead his cause against hostile forces and to deliver him from deceitful and unjust enemies.
Neville's Inner Vision
To Neville, the psalmist’s 'Judge me' is a decree of inner authority. The 'God' spoken of is the I AM you are always aware of, and the plea to plead his cause is a call for your own consciousness to align with righteousness. The 'ungodly nation' and the 'deceitful and unjust man' are not separate adversaries in space, but inner dispositions—habitual thoughts and feelings that pretend to govern you. When you accept that the divine court is seated within, you allow the vision of justice to operate on your life: you judge the thoughts, not people, and you revise them with the certainty that your real state is made in God. Deliverance comes not by changing others but by shifting your attention to the truth of your being, the I AM that naturally liberates you from illusion. In this light, the verse becomes a practical invitation: stand in the awareness that you are already justified, already defended by the perfect law of consciousness, and let fear dissolve as your inner ruler is restored.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the feeling of being justified now, as the I AM within you. Then envision God, the inner judge, pleading your cause and dissolving every deceitful thought as you remain in that awakened consciousness.
