Give praise to the Lord, O my soul; let everything in me give praise to his holy name.
Give praise to the Lord, O my soul; let not all his blessings go from your memory.
He has forgiveness for all your sins; he takes away all your diseases;
He keeps back your life from destruction, crowning you with mercy and grace.He makes your mouth full of good things, so that your strength is made new again like the eagle's.
The Lord gives decisions in righteousness for all who are in trouble.
He gave knowledge of his way to Moses, and made his acts clear to the children of Israel.
The Lord is kind and full of pity, not quickly made angry, but ever ready to have mercy.
His feeling will no longer be bitter; he will not keep his wrath for ever.
His punishment has not been on us in answer to our sins; and he has not given us the reward of our wrongdoing.
For as the heaven is high over the earth, so great is his mercy to his worshippers.As far as the east is from the west, so far has he put our sins from us.
As a father has pity on his children, so the Lord has pity on his worshippers.
For he has knowledge of our feeble frame; he sees that we are only dust.As for man, his days are as grass: his beautiful growth is like the flower of the field.
The wind goes over it and it is gone; and its place sees it no longer.
But the mercy of the Lord is eternal for his worshippers, and their children's children will see his righteousness;
If they keep his agreement, and have his laws in mind to do them.
The Lord has made ready his high seat in the heavens; his kingdom is ruling over all.
Give praise to the Lord, you his angels of great strength, doing his word, listening to the voice of his saying.
Give praise to the Lord, all you his armies; you servants of his, doing his pleasure.
Give praise to the Lord, all the works of his hands, in every place of his rule: Give praise to the Lord, O my soul.
A Neville Goddard Interpretation: Inner Praise and Transformation
This psalm is more than poetry. It’s a call to awaken your deeper self. Through the teachings of Neville Goddard, we can read Psalm 103 not as external praise to a distant deity, but as the inner dialogue of the soul—a stirring of the subconscious into remembrance and realignment with divine truth.
The Inner Call to Praise
"Give praise to the Lord, O my soul; let everything in me give praise to his holy name."
This is not external worship but a command to the feeling self—the subconscious. The “holy name” is I AM. Every part of you is called to enter into agreement with this truth. Praise here is not flattery—it is conscious union.
Memory as Alignment
"Let not all his blessings go from your memory."
In Neville’s terms, memory determines your state. When you remember what is already true of your divine nature, you no longer strive—you assume. Forgetfulness of blessings means slipping into a lower state; remembrance is how you rise.
Forgiveness and Healing as Shifting States
"He has forgiveness for all your sins; he takes away all your diseases."
Sin is simply missing the mark—living from an old, limited state. Forgiveness means you no longer identify with that state. Once you drop the mistaken identity, your world (and body) realigns.
Crowned with Grace
"Crowning you with mercy and grace."
This is the self crowned with a new assumption. Grace and mercy symbolise a higher self-concept—one that is no longer ruled by guilt or delay, but by acceptance of divine inheritance.
Renewed Like the Eagle
"Your strength is made new again like the eagle's."
The eagle represents vision, height, and spiritual authority. When you speak from praise, your vitality is renewed—not because the outer changed, but because your assumption lifted you to new heights.
A Measureless Mercy
"As far as the east is from the west, so far has he put our sins from us."
This line pictures complete separation from the old state. The former self—full of doubt, fear, or shame—is not clung to. The inner shift has occurred. The new man has taken its place.
Dust and Spirit
"He sees that we are only dust."
This is not a judgement—it’s a reminder of the outer man’s frailty. Dust is form, but spirit is power. We are to stop identifying with the fragile outer and start living from the eternal I AM within.
Praise Activates the Whole
"Give praise to the Lord, all the works of his hands..."
In Neville’s language, consciousness is the only reality. Every aspect of creation is tied to your state. Praise—conscious, grateful assumption—realigns all things. Your world reflects what you truly honour within.
Conclusion: The Subconscious Must Be Stirred
Psalm 103 reminds us that transformation comes not from pleading, but from assumed praise—a living inner conviction that “all his benefits” are now yours. This is the essence of Neville Goddard’s message: assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled, and you will see its reflection in your world.
