Mercy Within Psalm
Psalms 77:7-9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 77 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Plain sense: The psalmist questions whether God's mercy and promise endure, expressing doubt about divine favor. It frames mercy as a present reality or absence within the soul.
Neville's Inner Vision
To the reader of Psalms 77:7-9, the God addressed is not a distant statute but the I AM within your own awareness. When you cry, 'Will the Lord cast off forever?' you are naming a state of consciousness you have already assumed. Mercy and promise are not relics of history; they are the subtle vibrations of your inner atmosphere. To believe mercy has vanished is to consent to a mental weather that hides your true life. The path of Neville is to revise that weather by assuming the opposite: you are the custodian of tenderness, the keeper of the covenant within, and the I AM is forever gracious toward you. Selah invites a pause to let this new assumption settle; do not chase external evidence. Instead, dwell in the conviction that grace, favor, and divine promise are constitutive to your being, not contingent on circumstance. If you persist in this embrace, the inner climate shifts; what you call hardship dissolves into a remembered truth: you are always beloved and kept by the very presence you call God.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, assume the feeling, 'I am the mercy kept; I am the promise kept.' Let that be your constant mood and let it color every action.
