Neville Goddard on Psalms 83:9-17 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Psalms 83 in context

Scripture Focus

9Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:

10Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth.

11Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:

12Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.

13O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.

14As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;

15So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm.

16Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD.

17Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:

Psalms 83:9-17

Biblical Context

Psalm 83:9-17 calls for God to judge hostile powers and to remove their influence over the people. The prayer opens to the hope that God’s name will be known through deliverance.

Neville's Inner Vision

To the one who seeks, remember the enemies are not others but the stubborn beliefs of limitation within. Psalm 83:9–17 invites the tempest of God-awareness to move through the inner landscape, disassembling what is false by the force of consciousness. In Neville’s key, the I AM behind every thought is the true agent of change; when you acknowledge that you are the awareness in which all events appear, the outer foes lose grip and fade into dust. The image of making nobles and princes like stubble before the wind becomes a symbol: let your calm, unwavering consciousness blow away every claim of lack, fear, or separation. Do not beg for deliverance; assume it is yours because the inner God is your very life. As you dwell in the state of I AM, opposition is transformed into wind that carries away the old claims. The result is a renewal of heart and a new recognition of the Lord’s name in your life, achieved by the inner act of becoming the reality you seek.
