Inner Covenant Honest Speech

Psalms 50:16-17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Psalms 50 in context

Scripture Focus

16But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth?
17Seeing thou hatest instruction, and casteth my words behind thee.
Psalms 50:16-17

Biblical Context

Psalm 50:16-17 condemns lip-service to God's statutes while resisting inner instruction; true covenant-keeping arises from inner alignment, not outward confession.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the stillness of your consciousness, the 'wicked' are the parts of you that declare God's statutes with the mouth but hate instruction with the heart. The verse asks, what business has such a state with the living law? The remedy is to turn the focus from externals to the inner I AM, the awareness that makes the law real. When you resist inner discipline, you cast the words of God behind you; when you embrace instruction as a friend of your highest self, you harmonize thought, feeling, and action. See the covenant not as a contract with the outer world, but as alignment of your inner being with truth. Practice imagining yourself already keeping every statute by feeling transformed into the very embodiment of the law. Speak less about rules and more about the living certainty that you are the statute made flesh, your inner declaration and outer speech one and the same. The hypocrite dies in the egoic separation; the awakened self thrives in unity with instruction.

Practice This Now

Assume the feeling that you are the living statute now; in a moment of quiet, declare inwardly: I am the Word in action; I align my mouth with my heart and keep the inner covenant.
