Neville Goddard on Psalms 5:3-5 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Psalms 5 in context

Scripture Focus

3My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.

4For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.

5The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

Psalms 5:3-5

Biblical Context

Psalm 5:3-5 speaks of waking with intention, directing prayer, and affirming purity in God's presence, while acknowledging that wickedness cannot dwell with the divine and fools cannot stand in the light.

Neville's Inner Vision

Psalm 5:3-5 invites us to begin the day by turning the eyes of awareness inward and upward, making morning the moment of deliberate manifestation. The voice you hear is the I AM answering, a direct prayer in consciousness rather than a petition to a distant God. To God, as your I AM, there is no pleasure in wickedness; thus, every inner mood that breeds separation—fear, resentment, guilt—cannot dwell in that holy space. The line about the foolish and the workers of iniquity is a summons to release beliefs that deny your oneness. You can revise them by assuming, in feeling and imagination, that you are already pure, that your life flows from the one Life, and that truth dissolves every semblance of wrongdoing. In this inner alignment, the day opens with power, and the outer scene rearranges to match the inner state: you look up and find your world reflecting your inner light.

Practice This Now

In the next moment, sit quietly, close your eyes, and declare, 'I am the I AM; I direct my prayer now and look up.' Then feel the reality of unity in your chest as if it were already so, and release any old belief that opposes that oneness.
