Neville Goddard on Psalms 77:16-20 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Psalms 77 in context

Scripture Focus

16The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled.

17The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows also went abroad.

18The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook.

19Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known.

20Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

Psalms 77:16-20

Biblical Context

The psalm portrays God’s power over floods and storms while affirming that his way lies in the inward life, along unseen paths. It closes with the image of God shepherding his people like a flock, guided by inner faculties symbolized by Moses and Aaron.

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the Neville lens, this psalm is a map of consciousness. The waters, the thunder, and the clouds are not external weather but the inner forces moving within your mind. God’s way being in the sea and his path in the great waters means the pattern of your life is shaped by the currents of your own awareness, not by distant happenings. By calling God the I AM—the awareness that you actually are—you discover that the apparent dangers are simply vibrations of a state you are waking from or into. The line about leading you like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron points to your inner faculties—the Moses of imagination that navigates vision, and the Aaron of action that follows inner direction. When you dwell in the feeling that you are led and supported by this inner sovereignty, storms dissolve into orderly motion, and the hidden path reveals itself as the next step you now take. Your life becomes an outward echo of an inward truth: you are being led by your own divine consciousness.
