Read Psalms 70 in context

Scripture Focus

2Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt.
3Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha.
Psalms 70:2-3

Biblical Context

The verses request shame and reversal for those who seek the speaker’s life, and for their harmful schemes to be turned back.

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the Psalm is not about external enemies, but about the states of consciousness that threaten our well-being. 'Them' are the inner voices and circumstances that seek to harm your sense of self; 'my soul' is your vital I AM—awareness that cannot be touched by fear. When you imagine them ashamed and turned back, you are not praying for others; you are returning to the law of your own mind: every appearance mirrors the inner movement you accept. The 'Aha' of their boast reveals the ego's trick: when you hold to the belief that harm is possible, you project it; when you revise, you refuse the projection. By standing in your unity with the I AM, you cause the reverse motion to happen within the field of consciousness: confusion clears, fear dissolves, and what opposed you falls away. Providence becomes your inner law: guidance moves, judgment is simply your recognition of what your own attention has conjured, and justice is the balance restored by your fidelity to the I AM. Thus, the prayer becomes an inward discipline—let the inner "they" experience their own reversal as you persist in awareness of blessing.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Close your eyes and revise the scene—see the supposed persecutors turning back, and you standing in the I AM, safe and unshaken; feel it-real as you hold to that awareness.
