Neville Goddard on Psalms 92:1-6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Psalms 92 in context

Scripture Focus

1It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High:

2To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,

3Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound.

4For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.

5O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep.

6A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this.

Psalms 92:1-6

Biblical Context

Psalm 92:1-6 invites gratitude to the Most High, morning kindness, nightly faithfulness, and joyful acknowledgment of God’s works; it contrasts foolish inability to understand with the wisdom of recognizing inner order behind outward events.

Neville's Inner Vision

To the reader who knows the truth that all Scripture is the language of consciousness, this psalm reveals that praise is not an external ritual but an inner state. The Lord is not a distant geography; He is the I AM within you, the awareness that births every form. When the verse speaks of morning lovingkindness and nightly faithfulness, it speaks of a rhythm you sustain in your own mind: wake with gratitude as an act of inner recognition, close the day with unwavering trust that your world reflects your inner assumption. The instruments—ten strings, the psaltery, and the harp—are symbols for the harmonizing of your thoughts, emotions, and imaginal acts. "For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work" becomes a statement of cause and effect: the 'works of thy hands' are the manifestations of your inner activity, not external luck. The line about great works and deep thoughts invites you to acknowledge that only those who rest in this inner reality perceive its depth; the others remain asleep to the power of imagination. When you dwell as gratitude and trust, the world rearranges to echo your inner mood.

Practice This Now

Practice: sit for a moment and assume you are the I AM, letting morning lovingkindness flood your awareness. Then quietly list three things you will praise and feel them as already real in your day.
