Inner Covenant Honest Speech
Psalms 50:16-17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 50 in context
Scripture Focus
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.
