Psalm 64: Inner Snares
Psalms 64:3-6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 64 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The psalm describes covert enemies who sharpen bitter words, shoot secret arrows at the righteous, and probe the inward thoughts and hearts of the just, revealing a deep inner warfare.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville Goddard’s manner, see that the 'wicked' schemes are not distant outsiders but states of consciousness within you—voices of doubt, fear, and gleeful self-importance. The tongue that wounds and the arrows of bitter speech are your own habitual thoughts and spoken judgments about your life. They plot in secret because they’re forms of inner resistance to your I AM presence. The 'perfect' person is your present awareness, the I AM that experiences itself as peace, wholeness, and creative power. When you recognize that all attack arises from inner conviction, you disarm its force by assuming a new state: you are already the I AM, and the imagined threat cannot redefine you. The inner search for iniquity and the depth of heart reveal the complexity of your mind’s private theater; you may simply choose to revise it by dwelling in the truth of your indivisible self. As you persist in this revised state, the so-called snares vanish, and the whole scene yields to a brighter, more unified awareness that creates serenity rather than conflict.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Close your eyes, enter the state of I AM, and quietly revise the scene by affirming, 'I am the perfect now; nothing can threaten this awareness.' Feel the realness of wholeness, and imagine the bitter words dissolving into calm, transparent air.
