Psalms 90:12-17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Psalms 90 in context

Scripture Focus

12So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
13Return, O LORD, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants.
14O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
15Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil.
16Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children.
17And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.
Psalms 90:12-17

Biblical Context

The Psalm invites counting days as a practice that turns attention toward wisdom, mercy, and the joy of divine presence shaping our work. In Neville's terms, these are states of consciousness you can revise at will.

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine you are not bound by time, but are the I AM within time itself. The words to number our days become a discipline of attention: you measure the flow of events by the clarity of your inner state and choose to place your heart on wisdom instead of fear. When you cry for return, you are not appealing to an external clock but inviting the deeper self to reorient awareness to what is true now. Satisfy us early with thy mercy becomes a morning vow, a felt mercy that refreshes the whole being and makes all days agreeable. The afflictions and years of evil you have seen are memories dissolving when you insist on the fresh mercy of this moment. Let thy work appear unto thy servants means your acts arise from an inner state, and thy glory unto their children signals that the fruit passes to the next generation of awareness. Finally, the beauty of the LORD upon us is the recognition that you are already clothed in divine presence; hold this as real, and every task is established by that Presence.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: sit quietly, assume a steady state of awareness and declare that you are the beauty of the Lord upon you, and the work of your hands is established by divine presence; feel that truth as a radiant current flowing through you.
