Inner Crown of Praise
Psalms 47:1-7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 47 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
All people are urged to clap, shout, and praise God, recognizing Him as the great King over all the earth. He will subdue the nations and grant the chosen inheritance.
Neville's Inner Vision
Take Psalm 47:1-7 as a map of your inner kingdom. The 'LORD most high' you read about is the I AM you, the King who reigns in the chamber of your mind. The 'people' and 'nations' are not external rulers but inner states—fear, doubt, triumph, faith. When you acknowledge the King inside—clap your hands in your imagination, shout with the voice of triumph—these motions align your awareness with the truth that He is ruler over all your experience. 'He shall subdue the people under us' becomes the quiet mastery of your thoughts, the gentle obedience of your inner weather to the sun of your consciousness. 'He shall choose our inheritance' is your felt sense of birthright, the excellency of Jacob whom He loves, realized as joy, health, purpose. Your ascent—'God is gone up with a shout'—is your I AM lifting your attention to the throne. Sing praises 'with understanding' by knowing who you are; the King of all the earth is within you, and your world follows your proclaimed dominion.
Practice This Now
Imagine yourself seated on the throne of your mind, declaring I AM the ruler over all you encounter. Feel the assumed reality settle into your body, and observe your world aligning with that truth.
