Neville Goddard on Psalms 69:26-28 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Psalms 69 in context

Scripture Focus

26For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded.

27Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness.

28Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.

Psalms 69:26-28

Biblical Context

Enemies persecute the righteous and cause grief to the wounded. The psalmist asks that their iniquities be multiplied and that they be blotted out from the book of life, not written with the righteous.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within your inner theatre, those 'enemies' are stubborn habits of fear and doubt that persecute the good you are becoming. God is the I AM, the awareness that writes and rewrites your life. To blot them out is not punishment but a revision of your consciousness. The line 'add iniquity unto their iniquity' invites you to stop reinforcing the old story of limitation; by refusing to dwell in their guilt you separate the old self from your present righteousness. Notice how the book of the living signifies your state of being—the registry of what you accept as true about yourself. When you insist that you are already written among the righteous, you dissolve the old grievance and set a new movement toward wholeness. The psalm’s desire for exile from the living is a symbolic call to leave behind the old identities that no longer serve your I AM.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and declare, I AM, here and now. Revise the scene: blot out the names of those who persecute, erase their power, and write myself into the book of life as righteous.
