Neville Goddard on Psalms 62:1-12 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Psalms 62 in context

Scripture Focus

1Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation.

2He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.

3How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence.

4They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.

5My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.

6He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.

7In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

8Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.

9Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity.

10Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.

11God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.

12Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work.

Psalms 62:1-12

Biblical Context

Salvation and refuge come from God alone; the psalm invites steadfast trust, patience, and the rejection of worldly power or riches as guarantees.

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider these verses as a map of inner life. Truly my soul waits upon God; salvation comes from the I AM within. The rock and fortress stand not as distant figures but as your present awareness that remains unmoved while the world rattles; to trust is to acknowledge that power belongs to God in the very center of consciousness. When you hear thoughts of attack or feel the pressure of others’ schemes, you do not meet them as an external battle. You revise your assumption: 'In this mind, I am safe; in this awareness, I am defended.' This is the meaning of 'he is my defence; I shall not be moved.' The lines about vanity of riches and the lies of high status reveal what you must refuse to make real in your inner scene. Trust in God at all times, pour out your heart before Him, and let the I AM supply your refuge. The decree 'power belongeth unto God' is the anchor; mercy flows from the same source. In practice, wait with the inner posture that the problem is a mental image dissolving in consciousness, not a fact you must conquer.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly, place your hand on your chest, and repeat: 'My soul waits upon God; salvation comes from the I AM.' Then revise any anxious thought by declaring 'Power belongeth unto God' and feel the truth as a present refuge.
