Neville Goddard on Psalms 63:1-11 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Psalms 63 in context

Scripture Focus

1O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;

2To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.

3Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.

4Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.

5My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:

6When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.

7Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

8My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.

9But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.

10They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes.

11But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.

Psalms 63:1-11

Biblical Context

The psalm expresses longing for God, praise for His lovingkindness, and trust in divine protection; it moves from thirst to joy as the soul anchors itself in God, with enemies failing to overcome the faithful.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your Psalm is not a tale of distance but a movement within consciousness. When you declare 'early will I seek thee,' you name the waking I AM within your mind. The thirst is for awareness, not water; the dry land is the belief in separation from the living God within. To see thy power and thy glory is to witness the effect of your imagination when yoked to the truth that you are one with all. Lovingkindness is your true nature, more precious than life, and to praise is to align your lips with the fact already written in your heart. Thus you bless and lift your hands because you are blessing your own consciousness. The memory upon your bed and the night watches are moments of inner stillness where remembrance of God is renewed. Thou hast been my help—thus your right hand upholds your I AM, steady, unfaltering. Those who seek your soul are but fear’s shadow, dissolving in the light of your sovereign I AM; the king rejoices, and lies are stopped by the truth you now know.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit in quiet and declare 'I am God in this moment' as if it is true now. Feel the inner sanctuary become tangible and let the thirst dissolve into a felt sense of universal presence.
