Neville Goddard on Psalms 75:8-9 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Psalms 75 in context

Scripture Focus

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.

9But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

Psalms 75:8-9

Biblical Context

Psalm 75:8-9 speaks of the LORD’s cup, a symbol of life with a mixture of experiences. The dregs symbolize old self-images, but the speaker chooses to declare forever and sing praises.

Neville's Inner Vision

The cup in the LORD’s hand is not an external event but the standing order of your consciousness. The red wine represents vitality intermingled with doubt, memory, and belief—poured forth by the imagination. Drinking from this cup is not punishment; it is witnessing a movement of awareness through your thoughts. The dregs—the 'wicked'—are simply ingrained patterns you have accepted as real. By withholding belief in those forms, you tilt the vessel and permit the purer wine of present possibility to govern your experience. The vow, 'I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob,' becomes an inner decree: align with the I AM presence within, the timeless God of Jacob who knows you as consciousness. As you sustain that inner declaration, your outer life reflects the new mood of mind, revealing the sweetness you have always claimed in imagination.

Practice This Now

Assume you are the I AM holding the cup. Close your eyes, revise a current situation by affirming, 'I am the I AM, and this moment expresses divine life,' and feel the truth of it as real.
