Inner Psalm Of Trust

Psalms 56:1-7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Psalms 56 in context

Scripture Focus

1Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me.
2Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, O thou most High.
3What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.
4In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.
5Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil.
6They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.
7Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine anger cast down the people, O God.
Psalms 56:1-7

Biblical Context

David pleads for mercy as enemies press in; he declares his trust in God and vows to praise Him, refusing fear.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the quiet center of you is the I AM, the merciful God within. When fear rises, it is only a misfire of consciousness, an old story you have believed about separation. The verse invites you to shift from identification with the threat to alignment with the I AM, the source that breathes mercy and truth. What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee becomes an ongoing practice: you assume the state of trust, you revise every troubling thought into the light of divine word, and you feel it real now—the assurance that the inner witness remains untouched by external appearances. The “enemies” outside are really restless thoughts wrestling your words; in your inner sanctuary you quiet that chatter by recognizing that your true self is the God who commands mercy and casts fear out. By praising the Word in the mind—declaring that the inner decree governs your scene—you transform the perceived danger into a corridor of growth toward the divine presence within.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, assume the state of mercy as your immediate reality, and feel the I AM encircle you; speak softly, 'I trust the inner Word, I am unafraid,' until fear dissolves.
