Neville Goddard on Psalms 56:6-8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Psalms 56 in context

Scripture Focus

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.

8Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?

Psalms 56:6-8

Biblical Context

The verse portrays enemies gathering, hiding, and tracking the speaker, while God records his wanderings and collects his tears.

Neville's Inner Vision

All the 'they' are your inner states—doubt, fear, self-criticism—gathering to mark your steps and wait for your soul. In the I AM, these appearances are not threats but signals, beckoning you to choose a new inner story. When you acknowledge that God, the I AM within you, tells your wanderings and keeps your tears in a bottle, you stop being a victim of circumstance and become the author of your experience. The bottle is not punishment; it stores energy ready for transmutation into faith and action. Your inner scripture, the book, is yours to edit. By assuming the state of your desired reality—already at one with the divine, already guided and safe—you rewrite the page. You are not chased by enemies but led by a compassionate I AM that knows your name and your path.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes, proclaim, I am the I AM, guiding every step. Revise the scene: my wanderings and tears are known to me as energy I now transform; the book is written by love within me.
