Psalms 9:7-12: Inner Refuge and Judgment

Neville's Inner Vision

Your Psalmist speaks from the interior court of being. The LORD endures as your ongoing awareness; the throne you imagine is the fixed belief you hold about yourself. Judgment then is not punishment but alignment—your thoughts, feelings, and choices measured against the light of your I AM. When the verse says He shall judge the world in righteousness, it proclaims that your inner standard cannot be swayed by fear; uprightness is the natural posture of a mind that knows its true name. The LORD will be a refuge for the oppressed; so too is your own consciousness a sanctuary when you refuse to identify with limitation. Those who know thy name will put their trust in thee: thy name is your most intimate I AM-nature, the unalterable you that seeks and is found. Sing praises to the LORD who dwells in Zion—declare among the inner stages of life His doings: every remembered pain becomes a doorway through which He remembers your cry and answers it. The cry of the humble is heard within your own heart, and your heart answers with trust.
