Read Psalms 63 in context

Scripture Focus

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:

Psalms 63:3-5

Biblical Context

The psalm declares that lovingkindness surpasses life, and the speaker vows to praise God. They bless Him, lift their hands in His name, and their soul is satisfied with the richness of divine sustenance.

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the inner speaker refuses to rely on external proofs and names the I AM as the source. Lovingkindness is not distant mercy but the energy by which consciousness lives; to claim it as better than life is to recognize that state precedes circumstance. When I affirm I will praise, I align my mind with that inner supply, a choice to bless in the name of the I AM. The gesture of lifting hands becomes a symbolic surrender to that reality, a declaration that every blessing flows from within and through me. My soul's nourishment—like marrow and fatness—signifies fullness of being, not mere sensation; it is the inner diet of awareness that sustains perception and feeling. Thus joyful lips arise from an inner conviction: I am held by grace, I am supported by mercy, and my life radiates that divine presence. The psalm teaches a practical path: dwell in the inner kingdom by assuming the state that produces clear experience, and watch the outer life respond.

Practice This Now

Assume the inner state that lovingkindness is your life and revise any sense of lack by declaring I AM within sustains you; feel it real in your chest as you breathe. Let praise rise naturally as you move through the day, because you now dwell in the inner kingdom that feeds and blesses all outward life.
