Psalms 67:4-5

Biblical Context

Psalm 67:4-5 invites the nations to gladness and praise, declaring God's righteous judgment and governance over the earth; it calls all people to praise God.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your psalm is not about distant lands but the theater of your own consciousness. The nations that must be glad are the facets of your mind—desires and memories and judgments—whose clamor quiets when you acknowledge I AM as the sovereign governor. To 'judge the people righteously' is to measure every belief, every impulse, by the fixed standard of consciousness rather than by external appearances. The governance spoken of is your reign over thoughts and moods from the throne of awareness, choosing what you permit to rule your day. The appeal that 'let all the people praise thee' becomes the felt-state of gratitude and worship that arises when you recognize God within as the context in which all events unfold. Your inner order therefore becomes the outer order; as you awaken to this inner government, the world you call real aligns with that reality. Selah—the pause and the proof that the I AM is the true governor of your kingdom.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Sit in quiet, declare 'I AM the governor of my mind; the nations within are glad' and feel it as real now; visualize a radiant court within where every impulse is judged by that light and harmony spreads outward.
