Inner Judgment and Truth

Psalms 58:1-5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Psalms 58 in context

Scripture Focus

1Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?
2Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.
3The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
4Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;
5Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.
Psalms 58:1-5

Biblical Context

The psalm asks if you truly speak righteousness and judge uprightly, while your heart secretly works wickedness and lies. It portrays the wicked as estranged from truth from birth, their words and thoughts poisoning the mind and refusing to listen to truth.

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice that the 'congregation' and 'sons of men' are not external crowds but the states of consciousness you inhabit. The question 'do ye speak righteousness' is a test you apply to your inner dialogue: are you projecting outward justice while inwardly weighing the violence of your judgments? The wicked described are not others; they are thoughts and patterns that have gone astray within your own being, springing lies and resisting the voice of your I AM. Their poison is the venom of fear and resentment; the deaf adder is the mind that refuses to hear the sweet charm of truth, no matter how wisely it is dressed. In this reading, the scene reveals where your awareness has grown dull and separated from your true nature. But you can alter the scene by recognizing you are the I AM—the sovereign observer. When you assume the role of the righteous observer and revise the scene to reflect your divine nature, your inner listening opens, and external appearances align with that inner truth.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Assume the I AM is ruler of this moment and revise the scene to hear only truth within. Feel the inner righteousness come alive as you declare, 'I am the righteousness of God now.'
