Read Psalms 79 in context

Scripture Focus

8O remember not against us former iniquities: let thy tender mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low.

9Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name: and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy name's sake.

Psalms 79:8-9

Biblical Context

Psalm 79:8-9 asks God to overlook past sins and to swiftly grant mercy. It asks for salvation and cleansing for the sake of His name when we are humbled.

Neville's Inner Vision

You are not petitioning a distant God but awakening to your I AM. Your current sense of being brought low is a shift in consciousness, and the tender mercies are the immediate changes in awareness that prevent collapse. To 'remember not' former iniquities is to decide that past guilt no longer governs your now; to seek help for the salvation of your inner life is to align with your true nature, the source of deliverance. The line 'for thy name's sake' invites you to act in harmony with the divine quality within, not as external worship but as inner alignment. Thus the psalm becomes a daily practice: gently revise the memory, soften the sense of lack with a feeling of mercy, and rest in the realization that the inner kingdom is present in you. Deliverance and cleansing come as you claim your I AM and let your awareness honor that reality.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, place a hand on your chest, and repeat 'I AM' while affirming that mercy is already flowing now; revise a past scene to its harmless version and feel the relief as your inner state shifts.
