Neville Goddard on Psalms 63:4-6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Psalms 63 in context

Scripture Focus

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.

Psalms 63:4-6

Biblical Context

Verse 63:4-6 depicts the speaker pledging to bless God with lifted hands, finding nourishment for the soul, and praising with joyful lips as he remembers and meditates on God during night watches. It centers devotion as an inner discipline performed in awareness.

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through Neville's lens, these lines reveal a state of consciousness rather than a ritual sequence. To bless God is to acknowledge the I AM that you truly are, and lifting hands becomes the act of elevating your attention to that divine presence. The nourishment described as marrow and fatness speaks not of bodily sustenance but the rich satisfaction that comes when thought is aligned with the Source within. Your mouth praising with joyful lips mirrors harmonious inner speech—your words arise from a settled sense of reality, not anxious pleading. Remembering and meditating on God in bed and during night watches is simply keeping faith with the inner vision until it animates waking life. Every line invites you to revise the inner scene: move from scattered, troubled thoughts to a steady posture of worship; from longing to a realized sense that God is here, now. By assuming the state of blessing and allowing that feeling to permeate daily life, you rewrite your outward world from the I AM outward.

Practice This Now

Tonight, close your eyes and assume you are blessing God by lifting your inner hands; breathe in the sense of nourishment and affirm I am blessed and I am nourished by God. Then rest in that feeling as you remember and meditate on the I AM during the night watches.
