Neville Goddard on Psalms 75:4-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Psalms 75 in context

Scripture Focus

4I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:

5Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck.

6For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.

7But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.

Psalms 75:4-7

Biblical Context

The psalm warns against foolish pride and declares that true promotion does not come from east, west, or south, but from God who judges and lifts up whom He wills. It invites inner humility and trust in divine sovereignty.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you is the throne where the I AM sits, the one who judges and orders the scenes of your life. The fools and the wicked in the psalm are not others but states of consciousness that lift their horn in pride, imagining promotion comes from outward signs—the east, the west, the south, or man's verdicts. Yet the message is clear: true advancement is a movement of consciousness, not a geographical station. God is the judge; He lifts up and sets down according to the inner alignment of your being. When you identify with lack or seek power as outward show, you reinforce the 'fool' and your life follows a path of struggle. But when you acknowledge the I AM within as the sole governor, you allow the inner decree to rise into outer circumstance. Your promotion is the inner turning toward truth; the outer events reflect that inner ascent. Practice this inner alignment today: dwell in the feeling that you are already elevated by God, and watch how the form of your life follows that inner kingly authority.
