Neville Goddard on Psalms 90:9-10 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Psalms 90 in context

Scripture Focus

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

10The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

Psalms 90:9-10

Biblical Context

Psalm 90:9-10 portrays life as a finite tale told under wrath, with days measured by labor and sorrow. Neville's reading invites rewriting that tale from the I AM within, making time bend to your inner state.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this psalm, 'days' are states of consciousness and 'wrath' is the resistance of awareness to its own true nature. You are not the victim of a fixed clock; you are the I AM writing the hours from within. When the verse speaks of a life counted in years—threescore years and ten, perhaps eighty—see it as a script you can revise by habit and imagination. The 'tale that is told' becomes the story you rehearse in your mind. By shifting attention to the unchanging awareness, you revise the ending: you are not forced to endure time and trouble, you are the author who converts every moment into revelation of the divine presence. The years become a pliable script under your command, with vitality and ease as your natural state, not a fate you must suffer. Thus time yields to your inner state as you dwell in I AM and refuse to let fear or sorrow govern your days.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Close your eyes and revise the verse in the first-person present tense, declaring, 'All my days are spent in the peace of the I AM.' Then feel that truth as real in your chest and notice how your next moment aligns accordingly.
