Neville Goddard on Psalms 90:7-9 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Psalms 90 in context

Scripture Focus

7For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.

8Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.

9For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told.

Psalms 90:7-9

Biblical Context

The verses describe humanity living under divine anger, with sins laid bare before God. Our days are spent under that wrath, passing as a brief tale.

Neville's Inner Vision

These lines reveal the inner weather of consciousness. When you read 'we are consumed by thine anger,' translate it as the mind clinging to fear and guilt, a sense of separation from the I AM. 'Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance' becomes the practice of bringing hidden thoughts into your radiance, exposing them to your awareness. 'For all our days are passed away in thy wrath' points to the habitual storyline you repeat while feeling imperiled; the remedy is not punishment but a shift of state. You are not the wrathful tale but the I AM observing it. Therefore, revise the scene by inhabiting a new state: you are the I AM, the witness behind all voices; let the wrath dissolve into a compassionate light that clarifies rather than condemns. In this light, the tale you tell can become a healing, not a sentence, and your days become moments renewed by awareness.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the I AM as your permanent state. Picture the inner scene where anger and guilt are seen in light and fade, leaving a calm, renewed sense of now.
