Inner Ruling Of The Storm

Psalms 89:9-10 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Psalms 89 in context

Scripture Focus

9Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them.
10Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm.
Psalms 89:9-10

Biblical Context

Psalm 89:9-10 speaks of God’s sovereignty over the sea and the defeat of enemies, illustrating divine power as a protective, stabilizing force within consciousness. The imagery points to inner mastery over turbulent thoughts and fears.

Neville's Inner Vision

The psalm does not describe a distant sea; it describes your consciousness. The raging sea is the churn of thoughts and memories that threaten your sense of identity. When you acknowledge, I am the I AM that rules the mind, you become the one who commands the waves instead of being driven by them. The line Thou rulest the raging of the sea is your inner command: imagine a deeper stillness that makes the waves bow to your persistent awareness. Rahab, the chaotic deep, represents subconscious powers unsettled by fear; to break Rahab in pieces is to dissolve those inner specters by recognizing yourself as the one who never wavers. The strong arm is not force from without but the coherent, unwavering consciousness that acts in faith, scattering enemies, doubt, lack, and limitation, through the power of belief. Thus the Psalm invites you to live from the I AM, not from the tumult, and to watch the outer world rearrange itself to match your inner state.

Practice This Now

Assume the state 'I am the ruler of the sea within' and feel it real now. Revise any stormy thought by picturing a calm horizon until the feeling of stillness anchors your body.
