Neville Goddard on Psalms 62:9-12 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Psalms 62 in context

Scripture Focus

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 62:9-12

Biblical Context

The psalm declares that outward statuses and wealth are unreliable; true power rests with God, and mercy flows according to one's deeds.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the terms 'low degree' and 'high degree' dissolve into inner states. Vanity and lies vanish when you measure life by the I AM and reckon with inner power rather than outward rank. Do not trust oppression or chase riches, for the balance you seek is a function of consciousness; when riches threaten to fix your heart, you have misplaced trust; return to the truth that power belongs to God—your own awareness—and mercy flows from that Source according to your inner acts. As you hold this alignment, Providence unfolds: guidance, provision, and rightful outcomes arise from your inner life, not from men. Remember: the outer world is a mirror of your inner state; you are the sovereign who decides what is true by the consciousness you dwell in.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, close your eyes, and declare: 'Power belongs to God, and I am that power now.' Visualize wealth, status, and outcomes dissolving into the light of your I AM, and feel the mercy of God shaping your next step.
