Psalms 9:15-16

Biblical Context

Psalms 9:15-16 speaks of people falling into the trap they themselves laid, and the Lord being known by the outcomes of righteous judgment; the wicked are ensnared by their own deeds.

Neville's Inner Vision

The heathen in this psalm is a state of consciousness—fear, doubt, or pride—that you entertain. The pit you are sunk into is the mental belief you dug with thinking, and the net you hid is a pattern you bombard yourself with until it tightens around your foot. The line about the LORD being known by the judgment he executes becomes an inner law: when you align with the I AM and allow true discernment to operate in you, you witness correct perceptions and outcomes unfold. If you persist in blaming others or clinging to separation, you are simply caught by the trap you built with your thoughts. Yet when you assume the God-state within, the inner judge becomes a loving, clarifying light that dissolves fear and reveals truth. Your awareness, not external punishment, writes the consequences; the inner order you awaken is your true liberty. Higgaion. Selah.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, assume the I AM inside you as the sole observer of your life, and revise any sense of being trapped by declaring, 'I am free by the perfect judgment of God within me,' then feel that release as already done.
