Deliver Me in Righteousness
Psalms 71:2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 71 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The psalmist asks to be delivered through righteousness, to escape danger, and to be heard and saved. It centers on a plea for safety and divine attention.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within Neville's frame, this verse is a chart of inner state, not a petition to a distant power. 'Deliver me in thy righteousness' becomes an instruction: rise into the state of being defined by the I AM—the steady, unshakable awareness that knows right order. The 'righteousness' spoken of is the quality of aligned consciousness, not merely a moral judgment; to be delivered is to let your inner posture become your experienced reality. When you ask to be delivered, you are practicing the act of shifting your attention from fear to faith in that inner pattern. 'Cause me to escape' is the invitation to release the dream of limitation and step into the freedom of your true nature. 'Incline thine ear unto me' translates to turning full attention to the inner voice that assures you are already heard by the divine, that you belong to the current of life that saves. The final clause, 'and save me,' is the felt return of wholeness into your ordinary life. Practice: assume you are already in right relation with God; dwell in the feeling of being heard, safe, and guided, until the outer scene reorders itself to match the inner truth. Persist, and you become the deliverer in your own mind.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Close your eyes and declare, 'I am delivered by righteousness'; feel the certainty, then a scene where a door opens to freedom appears in your mind.
