Neville Goddard on Psalms 64:8-9 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Psalms 64 in context

Scripture Focus

8So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.

9And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.

Psalms 64:8-9

Biblical Context

The verse says enemies are silenced by their own tongue, and all who see them flee. Yet people are moved to fear and declare the work of God as they thoughtfully consider His doing.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your life is a theater of consciousness, and every 'enemy' or adverse voice is a projection of a state you have harbored. When you demand certainty and claim I AM as the Source of all you experience, the script begins to reverse: the very tongue that would bind you falls upon itself, for you are no longer feeding it with fear or doubt. Observe that the crowd around you, those who seem to threaten your peace, are simply mirrors of your own unresolved thoughts; as you sincerely acknowledge that God is the operator of all deeds within you, they bow to the work of God manifested through your life. The fear in the world around you becomes reverence as you wisely consider the doing of the I AM, and the external scene responds to your inner alignment. In this light, the verse is not about punishment of others but about the settling of your own mind into the truth that God within you leads, speaks, and acts. Thus the outward becomes the echo of the inward quiet that perceives all as God’s glorious activity.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit quietly and assume I AM is the sole ruler of your world. Revise a troubling scene by imagining others silently witnessing the works of God through you, feeling the fear melt into awe and the tongue of opposition fall silent as you know it is done.
