Neville Goddard on Psalms 52:7-9 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Psalms 52 in context

Scripture Focus

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.

9I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done it: and I will wait on thy name; for it is good before thy saints.

Psalms 52:7-9

Biblical Context

Psalm 52:7-9 contrasts trusting in riches with trusting in God's mercy. The speaker vows to praise and wait for God, rooted in divine presence.

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine the scene within, not as a fact you must change in the world, but as a state of consciousness you can occupy. The verse contrasts the man who leans on riches with the rootedness of one who trusts in Mercy. You are invited to be a green olive tree in the house of God—green with life, resilient, nourished by grace rather than gold. The I AM is your true headquarters; in it, wealth fears dissolve and mercy remains the constant atmosphere. Worship thus is not outward show but a settled, present-tense acknowledgment: God is within you, you are within God, and your every breath is praise because your identity is held by mercy. When you imagine yourself standing tall in that house, you are practicing the truth that reality follows awareness. Practice the revision: refuse lack, assume abundance of divine mercy, and feel it as real now. Then you will find you can wait on your name—your I AM—for it is good in the sight of the saints, forever.

Practice This Now

Assume the state now: close your eyes and feel yourself rooted as a green olive tree in God's house. Repeat 'I trust in the mercy of God forever' until the feeling of sustenance and praise becomes real in your chest.
