Neville Goddard on Psalms 70:3-4 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Psalms 70 in context

Scripture Focus

3Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha.

4Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.

Psalms 70:3-4

Biblical Context

Verse 3 reverses the power of the mockers, turning their shame back on them. Verse 4 calls the seeking and loving of salvation to rejoice and declare that God be magnified.

Neville's Inner Vision

These lines do not request a future event from without; they announce a shift in your inner state. The 'they' who say Aha are merely mental positions—doubt, sneer, insult, the memory of failure—presented to you until you deny them a home in your awareness. When you decide that you are the one sought by the I AM, you turn these voices back by refusing their claim on your attention. Rejoicing and gladness arise as the realization hits that salvation is not something external to be earned but a state of consciousness already established in you. To love thy salvation is to love the inner resolution that God is your immediate reality, and to magnify God is to keep your gaze fixed on that reality, letting outward appearances align with it. The more you dwell in this inner awareness, the more your world answers in harmony. This is the heart of the Psalm: the invitation to remain in the living awareness that God is magnified in every aspect of your life.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: in a moment of stillness, assume the state 'God is magnified within me' and feel the joy of salvation as already present; then carry that impression into your next moment.
