Read Psalms 79 in context

Scripture Focus

11Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee; according to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to die;

12And render unto our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord.

13So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give thee thanks for ever: we will shew forth thy praise to all generations.

Psalms 79:11-13

Biblical Context

The psalm pleads for the sighing prisoners to be heard, seeks protection for the doomed, and closes with a vow of perpetual thanks and public praise.

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse 11–13 reveals the hidden drama of your mind: the prisoner sighing is the repeated thought that constrains you; the greatness of power is your own I AM, the living awareness that preserves what is truly alive beyond time. When you align with that omnipotent I AM, the instinct to assign others blame, to savor their reproach, falls away and you render the companion of your past into a kinder form—sevenfold, not as judgment, but as a revision of your own sense of attack. The neighbors and reproach are projections of a separated self; yet God speaks within, and you, as the sheep of His pasture, begin to feed on the inner light rather than outer praise. Your invocation becomes thanksgiving that flows forever; the future generations are simply the expanding ripple of your present awareness. This is not petition to a distant God but the discovery of your own state: when you feel the I AM as your only reality, deliverance is your natural condition, and praise becomes your permanent expression.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, breathe, and declare: I AM the prisoner no more; I AM deliverance now. Feel the sense of gratitude as if it were already present, and let your inner valley of praise echo through every corner of your mind.
