Neville Goddard on Psalms 75:7-8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Psalms 75 in context

Scripture Focus

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

8For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them.

Psalms 75:7-8

Biblical Context

Psalm 75:7-8 states that God is the judge who lifts one and lowers another, and that life is a cup poured by the LORD, full of mixed experiences whose dregs the wicked drink.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you God is the judge—your I AM-awareness that determines what rises or falls in your life. The 'cup' in the hand of the LORD is the stream of conditions you entertain in consciousness; it is red with meaning and full of mixture, meaning that every situation contains a blend of fear and faith, limitation and possibility. The pouring is not punishment, but the natural result of states you hold. The dregs—the wickedness of the earth—are not out there to suffer; they are the stale habits and beliefs you have refused to release. When you awaken to the fact that you are the one who chooses the pattern, you can revise by assuming a higher state and feeling it real. Elevation or humility, uplift or fall, come by inner alignment. So the psalm invites you to trust your inner sovereignty: command a new outcome by a new idea, and the external scene will reflect that inner communion.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Sit quietly and declare, I am the I AM; I determine what I experience by my state of consciousness. Then revise a current issue by picturing the LORD pouring a cup of pure wine into my life, the dregs dissolved, as if this state is already true.
