Read Psalms 89 in context

Scripture Focus

49Lord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses, which thou swarest unto David in thy truth?

50Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people;

51Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O LORD; wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed.

52Blessed be the LORD for evermore. Amen, and Amen.

Psalms 89:49-52

Biblical Context

The psalmist questions where God's mercy has gone, and recalls bearing reproach. He notes the scorn cast on the anointed and ends with a proclamation of praise.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your inner Psalm speaks to the state you are now. When you ask, 'Where are thy former lovingkindnesses?' you are really asking the memory of divine mercy to arise in consciousness. The reproach of thy servants and the reproach of the mighty are the old voices the mind keeps replaying—stories of doubt, fear, and isolation. The footsteps of thine anointed point to the path of your higher self, the one you anoint with awareness, the I AM that you are. If you dwell in that I AM as your present reality, the forgotten mercies return as felt truth in this moment. The blessing 'Blessed be the LORD' is the simple acknowledgement that the divine is forever within; your life becomes a constant benediction when you refuse to separate yourself from that which you already are. Practice: treat every appearance of lack as a request to revise, and let the memory of kindness be your now. The inner kingdom is not future—it is now, whenever you steady your attention on the I AM.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, place a hand on your heart, and revise the scene by affirming: I AM remembrance of divine kindness now. I am the anointed path in this moment.
