Neville Goddard on Psalms 52:6-8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Psalms 52 in context

Scripture Focus

6The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him:

7Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.

8But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.

Psalms 52:6-8

Biblical Context

The righteous perceive the folly of trusting wealth and stand in awe; the speaker anchors himself in God's mercy, thriving like a green olive tree in the house of God.

Neville's Inner Vision

The passage invites you to see wealth as a counterfeit security within your own state of consciousness. The 'righteous' are not others but the awakened I AM recognizing the illusion and laughing at its grip. The man who 'made not God his strength' embodies a belief in external power; you, however, are the green olive tree planted in the house of God, nourished by mercy. By choosing to trust the mercy of God 'forever and ever,' you establish a steady, evergreen state that does not bend with fame or riches. As you dwell in this consciousness, your outer world aligns with this inner strength: fear dissolves into reverence for life's true source, and the sense of separation recedes as you realize you are the I AM in the midst of God.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the feeling of being the green olive tree in the house of God; repeat, 'I trust in the mercy of God forever,' until the sense of rooted security fills you.
