Inner Court of Justice

Psalms 82:1-8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Psalms 82 in context

Scripture Focus

1God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.
2How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.
3Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.
4Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.
5They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
6I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
7But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
8Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.
Psalms 82:1-8

Biblical Context

God stands in the council and judges the 'gods'; He questions unjust judgments and commands defending and delivering the poor and needy; though ye are gods, you shall die as mortals, so arise to judge the earth.

Neville's Inner Vision

Psalm 82 places you before a divine council where the I AM judges the states you call gods. The call to defend the poor and deliver the needy is not a distant directive; it is a statement about your inner arrangement. When you imagine yourself as the ruler within—your true awareness, the I AM—you stop judging by appearances and begin judging by the light of consciousness. Darkness is your ignorance when you feel separated from your own divinity; the foundations of the earth going out of course are the habitual identifications that keep you asleep to your power. “Ye are gods” is a reminder that you are the potent idea by which you create your world; yet, clinging to those roles as if they were separate from God causes you to die to the living sense of power and to fall like the princes. Arise, O God, judge the earth, means awaken your inner monarch to yield all nations to the harmony of your inner state. Your life becomes the answer the world seeks when you assume and feel the state of divine justice in your own consciousness.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit in stillness, assume the state of I AM as your governing consciousness, and softly declare, 'I am the judge of my inner court; I deliver the poor and restore the foundations of my life.'
