Neville Goddard on Psalms 65:4-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Psalms 65 in context

Scripture Focus

4Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple.

5By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation; who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea:

6Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains; being girded with power:

7Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people.

Psalms 65:4-7

Biblical Context

Blessed is the one whom God chooses to draw near and dwell in His courts; there is satisfaction in His holy presence. By mighty and righteous acts He answers, the God of salvation is the confidence of all the earth, who steadies mountains and quiets seas and tumult.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, the 'man chosen' is the I AM presence within you, the state you decide to inhabit. To be drawn near to the inner courts is to live from a consciousness that already dwells in the holy temple; dwelling there is not a journey away from yourself, but a return to your true center. When you assent to this inner occupancy, you witness 'terrible things in righteousness' as the natural fruit of a right assumption—the order and harmony your inner world reflects outwardly. The 'confidence of all the ends of the earth' is the certainty you feel when you recognise God as the I AM that never leaves you; mountains are set fast by your stable conviction, seas and waves are quieted by the calm decree you speak in imagination. The tumult of the people is the noise of mind that resists, but remember: you are the creator of your reality; your inner state orders the outer scene. Your imagination is the divine architect; by feeling the reality of God's house now, you bridge the gap between what is possible and what is real.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly and claim, 'I am dwelling in the courts of the I AM.' Feel the presence and, for a few minutes, imagine mountains steadied and the seas calmed as proof of your inner state.
