Psalms 97:1-12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Psalms 97 in context

Scripture Focus

1The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof.
2Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne.
3A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about.
4His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled.
5The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
6The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory.
7Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all ye gods.
8Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of thy judgments, O LORD.
9For thou, LORD, art high above all the earth: thou art exalted far above all gods.
10Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.
11Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.
12Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
Psalms 97:1-12

Biblical Context

Psalm 97 proclaims the Lord’s sovereignty and invites the earth to rejoice. It also asserts divine justice against idols and invites true worship.

Neville's Inner Vision

Listen to the psalm as a map of your inner kingdom. The clouds and darkness around Him are the veils of confusion you once called real; yet righteousness and judgment are the throne’s dwelling place—where you keep your attention, you keep your world. A fire goes before Him, burning up enemies round about; that fire is the cleansing desire of your mind to be governed by the I AM rather than fear. His lightnings enlightened the world; the earth trembles and yet finds its center when your awareness extends as light. The hills melt like wax at the presence of the Lord—the obstacles dissolve when you acknowledge you are the ruler, here and now. The heavens declare His righteousness; your inner vision bears witness to truth that has always been within you. Idols crumble; Zion hears and rejoices because your judgments are aligned with your true nature. You are high above all—your consciousness is the throne above every thought. Love the Lord; hate evil by refusing it in your thinking. Light is sown for the righteous; rejoice in this holiness of your own being.

Practice This Now

Assume the state: I AM the reign of the Lord in my mind. Visualize a throne of light within; let this reigning consciousness burn away limitation, and feel your life respond in order and joy.
