Inner Psalm of Hope
Psalms 9:17-18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 9 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The psalm contrasts doom for those who forget God with enduring hope for the needy. Inner life is the stage on which these destinies play out.
Neville's Inner Vision
Beloved, the wicked turning to hell is not a future fate but a present state of consciousness when you identify with fear, separation, or self-will. The phrase 'nations that forget God' speaks to any part of you that forgets the I AM, that forgets the living presence of awareness within. When you forget, you invite inner fire and chaos; when you remember, the outer world aligns with quiet justice and mercy. The 'needy' are the humble, the energy and imagination waiting to be employed by God-in-you; their cry is the call of your own fresh perception, the timeliness of mercy, and the guarantee that no true need is ever lost to divine memory. The 'expectation of the poor shall not perish' is your proof that your own inner desires are cherished by awareness, and that your future can be born of present realization rather than lack. Practice now by assuming the I AM as your permanent governor and revise every anxious thought as a forgotten reminder of this Presence. Feel it real: I AM the remembrance of God within me; my life responds to that remembrance with justice, mercy, and renewal.
Practice This Now
Sit quietly, breathe, and declare the I AM as the unchanging governor of your life; feel it real until fear dissolves and mercy rises in your experience.
