Inner Praise, Outer Reality
Psalms 7:17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 7 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse expresses a deliberate choice to praise God by aligning with His righteousness and to lift the name of the Most High. In Neville's view, this praise arises from an inner state of consciousness, where the I AM recognizes God’s righteousness as the law by which life is ordered.
Neville's Inner Vision
Psalm 7:17 invites you to make a decisive act of inner acceptance: you praise the LORD in exact proportion to your awareness of His righteousness, which is the steadfast alignment of consciousness with divine law. In Neville’s terms, ‘God’s righteousness’ is the right order in your own being—the I AM that you are. When you acknowledge that you are the living pronoun of the name of the LORD most high, you are praising the inner state that cannot be shaken by appearances. The moment you feel the reality of this righteousness, you sing to the name of the Most High as your own self-remembering. The outer world then reflects that inner reverence: a life where conditions bow to the law of consciousness that you hold, not to the ego’s fears. This is not effort; it's turning attention back to the one I AM and letting that actuality saturate every dream and event.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Assume the role of the I AM and revise your self-concept to 'I am the righteousness of God now.' Feel it-real by imagining a warm, bright glow around you as you breathe in the awareness.
