Neville Goddard on Psalms 58:6-11 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Psalms 58 in context

Scripture Focus

6Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O LORD.

7Let them melt away as waters which run continually: when he bendeth his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces.

8As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass away: like the untimely birth of a woman, that they may not see the sun.

9Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath.

10The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.

11So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.

Psalms 58:6-11

Biblical Context

Psalm 58:6-11 speaks of calling God to cut down the wicked and to judge justly, so that the righteous may witness divine vindication. The imagery is intense, but the core message is that true justice arises from God-like inner authority.

Neville's Inner Vision

Seen through Neville Goddard’s lens, the psalm is a map of your inner kingdom. God is the I AM, the living awareness behind every thought. The cry to break the teeth of the wicked is not about others, but about dissolving the fixed beliefs, fears, and defenses that keep you bound. When you read melt away as waters, you are invited to let persistent hostile thoughts dissolve into the ever-present stream of awareness. The snail and untimely birth imagery shows that old pictures pass when confronted by the breath of the I AM. Before your pots feel the thorns, the inner order—your inner wind—takes them away, and your outer life aligns with this inward reform. The righteous rejoice when judgment is seen; this is the moment you recognize there is a divine correction within you, not a punishment from without. The whole stanza invites you to trust the inner law that preserves you, restores you, and brings redemption by awakening to your true power as the I AM.

Practice This Now

Choose a current inner conflict. Close your eyes, assume the I AM as present reality, and picture the fear’s ‘teeth’ breaking apart while the waters of limitation melt away; then feel the wish fulfilled within you now.
