Neville Goddard on Psalms 5:1 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Psalms 5 in context

Scripture Focus

1Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.

Psalms 5:1

Biblical Context

It asks for God to hear the speaker’s words and to regard the speaker’s inner meditation. It treats inner speech and quiet contemplation as worthy of attentive consideration.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this reading the 'LORD' you plead with is the I AM within you. When you say 'give ear to my words,' you are not petitioning a distant deity but inviting your own awareness to listen to the inner speech you have been creating. 'Consider my meditation' becomes a command to honor the quiet movements of your mind as if they carried the weight of a message from the most intimate self. Realize that God is not a person apart from you; God is the I AM that perceives and sustains you. Your words and your meditations are the texture of your consciousness—shifts in feeling, images in imagination, and the tone of your attention. By assuming a state in which you are heard and answered, you align with the truth that you are always attended by Presence. The moment you feel heard, your outer life rearranges itself, for imagination is the hand that shapes reality; your inner state becomes your world.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit quietly and repeat, 'I am heard by the I AM.' Feel the presence respond and let your inner talk settle into a calm, assured contemplation.
