Neville Goddard on Psalms 78:1-4 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Psalms 78 in context

Scripture Focus

1Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth.

2I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old:

3Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.

4We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done.

Psalms 78:1-4

Biblical Context

It calls you to listen to a living law and incline your ear to the words arising from within. It promises a parable-teaching to pass the praises, strength, and wonders of the Lord to the next generation.

Neville's Inner Vision

Listen, for you are the I AM addressed by the words of your mouth. The law spoken here is not distant instruction but the state you assume now—an inner posture of awareness you incline your ears toward. When the text says I will open my mouth in a parable, it invites your imagination to speak in symbols that reveal inner causes. The 'dark sayings of old' are living memories of states you have already proven true by faith; they have been heard and known inside, and now you become the father who transmits these revelations to your inner child. We will not hide them from our children means you do not conceal these possibilities from the future you, but pass on to the generation within you the praises of the LORD—the recognition of your strength and the wondrous works that you have already done in imagination. So stamp your consciousness with a single truth: the I AM is your present reality, and every image you entertain is a doorway into power. The generation to come you will guide simply by dwelling in that inner fact, here and now.
