Psalm of Inner Comfort

Psalms 69:19-21 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Psalms 69 in context

Scripture Focus

19Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are all before thee.
20Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.
21They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
Psalms 69:19-21

Biblical Context

The psalm depicts deep reproach, loneliness, and thirst as an inner drama. It shows a heart overwhelmed by absence of pity and comfort.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the reproach and heaviness are the texture of your current state of consciousness. The 'adversaries' you name are your own judgments arising before the I AM that you truly are. When reproach breaks your heart and you crave pity, you are rehearsing lack - and you can release it by shifting to a state of inner alignment. The gall and vinegar symbolize bitter beliefs you have fed your mind - thoughts of scorn, doubt, and thirst for significance - that render your experience as suffering. Yet this scene is but a projection of awareness; God, the I AM, is the constant awareness within, not an outsider. By choosing a new assumption - feeling the presence that comforts, imagining the response of a benevolent inner counsel, and affirming your belovedness - you dissolve the need for external pity. Reframe the scene: see the inner voices as supportive, not condemned; let your awareness drink from the wells of life that never run dry.

Practice This Now

Assume the feeling of being comforted by the I AM right now. See the inner voices shift from reproach to support as you breathe into a calm, awakened state.
