Inner Vindication of Psalm 9:5
Psalms 9:5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 9 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Psalm 9:5 speaks of God rebuking the nations and wiping out the wicked; in Neville’s view, this is a metaphor for inner cleansing of fear and negativity.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within the psalm, the ‘heathen’ and the ‘wicked’ are not distant peoples but currents of consciousness that oppose your harmony. When the I AM speaks, it is the moment you refuse to entertain lack, fear, or limitation. The rebuke is not punishment; it is a decisive revision of belief, a turning away from images that persistently seem to govern your life. To have God’s name put out forever is to deny the old identities your mind clings to—lack, failure, separation—and to rise to the recognition that you are forever named by love, truth, and presence. In this light, the annihilation of the outward foe becomes the restoration of your inner kingdom: once the inner images shift, the outer scenes reflect a cleared memory and a new, lasting peace. The verse asks you to inhabit a state in which you know you are defended by the I AM, and nothing can stand against your true nature when you hold that presence steady. Your imagination becomes the administrator of reality, rewriting history as you decree.
Practice This Now
Assume that the I AM has already rebuked every opposing image within you; revise any memory of lack by affirming, 'I am the presence of God now,' and feel that truth as if here and now.
