Inner Name, Outer Glory

Psalms 8:1-2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Psalms 8 in context

Scripture Focus

1O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.
2Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
Psalms 8:1-2

Biblical Context

The psalm proclaims that God's name is excellent and that His glory is set above the heavens; it also declares that strength comes from the innocent voice of babes to quiet enemies.

Neville's Inner Vision

Let the psalm be a map of inner states, not distant facts. The name of the Lord, excellent in all the earth, is the recognition of your own I AM—the unwavering awareness that remains when you turn from appearances to inner truth. 'Glory above the heavens' indicates your consciousness lifting beyond surface conditions into the immutable reality within. 'Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings you have ordained strength' translates to the natural, childlike trust that speaks through you when you are still and attentive to your I AM. Strength is not wrung from conflict but proclaimed by the simple, unspoiled voice of your inner child, speaking power into your experience so the imagined enemies dissolve. When you imagine from this state and feel it as real, you quiet the sense of lack and walk as the sovereign creator of your world. This psalm invites worship as present fact, not distant hope: you are the light that names reality, the I AM in whom all conditions bend to your awareness.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, rest in I AM, and softly repeat 'I AM' until the inner dawn rises. Revise every sense of separation by feeling the divinely empowered unity and let strength flow through your consciousness.
