The earth is the LORD’s, and everything in it. The world and all its people belong to him.
For by him it was based on the seas, and made strong on the deep rivers.
Who may go up into the hill of the Lord? and who may come into his holy place?He who has clean hands and a true heart; who has not given his soul to what is false, and has not taken an oath for a bad purpose.
He will have blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
This is the generation of those who are looking for him, who are searching for your face, even Jacob.
Let your heads be lifted up, O doors; be lifted up, O you eternal doors: that the King of glory may come in.
Who is the King of glory? The Lord of strength and power, the Lord strong in war.
Let your heads be lifted up, O doors; let them be lifted up, O you eternal doors: that the King of glory may come in.
Who is the King of glory? The Lord of armies, he is the King of glory.
A Neville Goddard Interpretation: The Inner Gate of Glory
Psalm 24 isn’t a poetic description of an external God—it is a map of inner ascent, a symbolic journey into higher states of consciousness. Through the teachings of Neville Goddard, this psalm unfolds as a pattern of manifestation, self-purification, and spiritual dominion.
The Earth is the Lord's
"The earth is the Lord’s, with all its wealth..."
All of creation—everything in form—is the outpicturing of consciousness. The “earth” is your world, and it belongs to the I AM. The moment you identify with the Lord within—your imagination—you begin to see that nothing is truly external. The whole world is shaped by the inner assumption.
The Hill of the Lord
"Who may go up into the hill of the Lord?"
The “hill” symbolises elevated awareness—the mount of vision, the state where truth becomes realised. It’s not a question of morality, but of inner integrity. The clean hands and pure heart are symbols of alignment between thought, feeling, and belief.
Clean Hands and a True Heart
"He who has clean hands and a true heart..."
To ascend, you must leave behind contradiction. Clean hands mean you no longer act from fear or manipulation. A pure heart is one that does not split its attention between faith and doubt. You are single-eyed, as Jesus said. You believe what you affirm.
No False Oaths
"Who has not given his soul to what is false..."
This is the challenge Neville constantly addressed: stop investing in the evidence of the senses. To give your soul to what is false is to accept limitations as final. The one who can enter the holy place is the one who persists in the unseen reality, the imagined truth.
The Generation of Seekers
"This is the generation of those who are looking for him..."
To “seek the face of God” is to search for your true identity. The God you’re seeking is not afar off—he is your own wonderful human imagination. You become the generation that manifests the promise when you realise this.
The Eternal Doors
"Let your heads be lifted up, O doors..."
The doors are the gates of perception, the subconscious thresholds that open to new states. To “lift up your head” is to rise in awareness, to lift your inner gaze from the valley to the mountaintop. When you do, the King of Glory enters—that is, the divine assumption takes dominion.
Who Is the King of Glory?
"The Lord strong in war..."
This is not external warfare. It is the inner battle of belief. The King of Glory is the victorious state, the I AM that has overcome contradiction, doubt, and fear. The Lord of Hosts is the imagination in its commanding, faithful form—when it no longer wavers.
Conclusion: Manifestation Through Ascent
Psalm 24 is not about entering a physical temple. It is about entering a state of divine embodiment. When you stop giving your soul to falseness, and instead align fully with your highest assumption, you lift the gate, and the new reality enters.
This is the power Neville Goddard spoke of: “Assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled, and persist in that assumption.” In doing so, you become the gate through which glory enters the world.
