Today, we explore the profound spiritual power of Psalm 7 through the practice of Psalm Magic. Traditionally, this psalm is a potent tool for specific, vital purposes: breaking hexes and curses, vindicating the falsely accused, ensuring righteous court verdicts, overcoming formidable obstacles, and neutralizing conspiracies. Our focus today will be on harnessing its strength to recognize and affirm our divine innocence and to purify ourselves from all feelings of guilt.
The process for working Psalm Magic is simple yet profoundly effective. First, we recite the entire psalm aloud once without stopping – this is our initial incantation. Following this, we revisit the psalm verse by verse, diligently searching for hidden occult meanings, or "magic seeds," within each one. While you may never find every single one, actively seeking these seeds of magic and applying them to your personal situation is crucial. By engaging in this practice, these magical seeds are planted within our deep minds, allowing them to take root, grow, and bear powerful fruit in our lives.
Psalm 7
O Lord my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:
Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
O Lord my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;
If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)
Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah.
Arise, O Lord, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded.
So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.
The Lord shall judge the people: judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me.
Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.
My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart.
God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.
If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.
He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.
Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.
His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.
I will praise the Lord according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the Lord most high.
O Lord my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me
"The Lord" represents the single, universal force. It's crucial to align with this concept before working any Psalm magic. When we focus on the oneness of "the Lord," we are orienting ourselves to the unopposed force of the universe, which ensures our success.
So, whatever brought you to this Psalm—whether you're being unjustly accused, cursed, hexed, or even just feeling jinxed—you must recognize that this isn't fair and not the will of the infinite. A jinx often comes from our own thought patterns, while a curse is placed upon us by someone else. Regardless of the source, when you sense that things are not right, it's time to take action.
When you align with the one force, the one source, you are in a position to plead your case. In this Psalm, "the Lord" is depicted as a judge in a court of law. We are approaching this court to be judged fairly because we are innocent, and we are asserting our innocence.
If you struggle with feelings of guilt, this Psalm can help you understand that you were created innocent and "righteous." Righteousness is your natural state, regardless of any mistakes you've made. The infinite sees you as you were created: righteous.
The Psalm says, "Lord my God, in thee do I put my trust. Please save me from all those who persecute me. Deliver me." Having aligned with this universal force, you can confidently place your trust in it. You can know that whatever is making you feel persecuted, whether internal or external, you will be delivered from it. To be delivered means the problem ceases to exist for you instantly.
Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
When facing overwhelming problems, it’s easy to feel like your own strength isn’t enough. This is a regular part of being human, and recognizing your limits isn’t a weakness—it’s a step toward growth. You can shift your perspective and place your trust in the Infinite, a power greater than yourself. Psalm Magic helps you connect with the unlimited source of strength, making what once seemed impossible achievable. With this connection, you can overcome obstacles, accomplish more, and move forward with confidence, knowing the ultimate power in the universe supports you.
O Lord my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands.
If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)
Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah.
If you're judging yourself, thinking, "I'm not perfect, look at what I've done, maybe I deserve this," stop that thought. Remember, our thoughts create our reality. Believing you're guilty sets up a demand for punishment.
The Infinite didn't create you guilty. Your ego might tell you otherwise, pointing to past mistakes as reasons you deserve suffering. But it's crucial to acknowledge these feelings and then surrender them to a higher power. This power doesn't judge you as being guilty; it sees you as you were created, its innocent and beloved child.
It’s something the ego can understand, but you aren't powerful enough to stop the divine from loving you. You can't commit "sins" so terrible that the infinite won't help you.
Even if you believe you deserve consequences for past mistakes, the divine offers boundless grace when you surrender to its infinite power and unstoppable presence. The Infinite rejects the notion that you are meant to suffer, instead seeing you as inherently righteous. It affirms that this righteousness is your only true essence, untouched by anything that has happened before.
Arise, O Lord, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded.
When you use Psalm Magic, it’s usually to address a problem in your life. That problem is the "enemy" mentioned in the Psalm, along with everything tied to it—its causes and complications. It’s depicted as calling on a dormant divine power to wake up and help you.
This represents the idea that this power is always available to us, but won't act without being invited—it doesn't intervene unasked, as that would be forceful. The infinite won't impose itself, but when called upon, it always answers.
When healing manifests, your ego or the problems themselves would perceive it as divine anger. Consider how darkness might be seen to react to light: the light harbors no animosity, yet its presence feels like fury as darkness is eradicated. Likewise, your challenges or perceived "enemies" might experience what feels like the "wrath of the Divine." However, this is not genuine anger. The Infinite holds no malice towards these constructs, as they are not of its creation; they are literally nothing and thus lie beyond its recognition. Instead, the Divine simply embodies the pure light and corrective truth that heals.
It's easy to get stuck in old, dramatic ideas and think God is angry. However, you shouldn't attribute human emotions to the infinite. If you do, you're not genuinely engaging with the single power, source, and force of the universe; you're just dealing with a projection of your ego.
So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.
In Psalm magic, "people" represent your thoughts, and the "congregation of the people" signifies your thought forms. The core idea is to direct these thought forms towards the infinite, rather than dwelling on problems. We command our minds to focus on the Infinite, trusting it to handle the issue.
If we knew how to fix the problem ourselves, it would already be solved. Our constant thinking, worrying, and planning about the situation haven't worked. So, the Psalm clearly instructs us to shift our focused thoughts away from the problem and onto the Lord, or this higher power, allowing it to heal the situation.
When you remember the Infinite, it reappears in your mind through your focus. The key to solving any problem, especially a stubborn one, is to keep your thoughts on the infinite continuously.
The Lord shall judge the people: judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me.
The Lord sees only the perfect, true self within you, not your mistakes. This affirmation is for your benefit, reminding you of this truth. When you recognize this inherent perfection, you shift your focus from problems and errors to your own goodness. This is how healing happens, and your problem dissolves.
The past is behind you; whatever has occurred is over. Avoid dwelling on past actions or mistakes, whether yours or others'. Instead, direct your focus to solutions and the infinite source of all being.
Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.
When God tests the hearts and reins, it’s not about proving your worthiness. Instead, it’s about discerning which parts of you are authentic and which are not. The parts of you tied to the problem you’re facing are not the parts that the Infinite created. We want God to examine and judge those parts so they can be removed and no longer burden us.
When you go to God as a judge, you’re asking for a process of sorting—keeping what is true and good while letting go of what is false and harmful. It’s about keeping what is genuinely you at your core and discarding what isn’t. The falseness within us is what creates problems, as the ego thrives on them. The ego aims to keep us preoccupied with problems, distracting us from our true selves. By asking God to remove the falseness, we can focus on what truly matters and find relief from the constant cycle of problems.
My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart.
This verse is a powerful idea to keep in mind. Our problems often take root in our lives because we feel we have to defend ourselves against negativity. When we become defensive, we inadvertently make these negative things more real and solid in our experiences, giving them power in our lives. The more we defend ourselves, the more we find things to defend against.
The goal suggested by this verse is to lower our personal defenses and let a higher power—the infinite—be our defender. We aren’t to carry that burden ourselves.
This doesn't mean ignoring practical safety. Of course, you should still lock your door at night and set your security alarm. This is about the internal defense we carry in our hearts and our energy—the tension that comes from always being on guard. Instead of holding onto that tension, the idea is to relax your internal defenses and trust the infinite to handle the defending for you.
God judgeth the righteous and God is angry with the wicked every day.
It often seems that when a divine presence appears, the "wicked" are destroyed, leading to the assumption that God is angry with them. This is a primitive interpretation. In reality, there is no anger involved. It simply appears that way from a limited perspective.
God judges the righteous, meaning you are judged according to your inherent righteousness, because that is your true nature. "Righteous" simply means healthy, of sound mind, and innocent. You are fundamentally innocent, and you cannot change that, no matter how hard you try. Some people behave horribly because their egos want to prove their separateness to the divine, as if to say, "See, I'm not righteous. I'm special." This effort will always fail.
It may take a lot of personal unraveling to understand this truth about yourself. But if you can grasp it now, you'll realize that nothing you do can make God angry with you, stop loving you, or see you as anything other than the perfect and innocent child of the universe that you are. You might as well stop trying to prove otherwise.
If he turn not, he will whet his sword. He hath bent his bow and made it ready.
He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death. He ordained his arrows against his persecutors.
The ego's primary role is centered on attack and defense. It operates as a mechanism designed to protect the false self, constantly building barriers and preparing for perceived threats. This relentless drive to fortify its position creates an attitude of separation and fear, where the ego sees itself as under constant attack. The term “Instruments of Death” refers to the tools employed by the ego mind to maintain its control—these include fear, judgment, guilt, and attack. These tools are not intended to foster growth or connection, but rather to perpetuate a cycle of conflict and isolation.
It’s crucial to recognize that the ultimate purpose of the ego, though it claims to protect, is self-destruction. By keeping us trapped in fear and separation, all tools of the ego become “instruments of death,” preventing us from reaching peace, unity, and a higher understanding of ourselves and the world around us. Understanding this dynamic is crucial to breaking free from the ego's grip and moving toward a more authentic and fulfilling way of being.
Behold, he travaileth with iniquity and hath conceived mischief and brought forth falsehood.
It's all falsehood. Anything that the ego tells you is false. The ego thrives on fear, doubt, and separation, constantly feeding you thoughts that diminish your sense of peace and connection. But how do you distinguish between the ego and your spirit? Start by asking yourself: How do I feel? Do you feel peaceful, calm, and grounded? Do you have an unwavering sense of certainty that the infinite loves you and that you are a perfect, whole, and cherished being? If so, you are listening to the voice of your spirit—the voice of truth and love.
On the other hand, if you feel upset, afraid, angry, or defensive, ready to attack or protect yourself, then you’re likely hearing the voice of the ego. The ego’s voice is often loud, insistent, and rooted in fear, attempting to pull you away from your inner knowing. By tuning into your emotions and observing your reactions, you can begin to tell which voice is guiding you. Choose the voice that brings you back to love, peace, and connection—it is always the truth.
He hath made a pit and digged it and is fallen into the ditch which he made.
When the ego creates a problem, it often ends up being destroyed by the very problem it made—like digging a pit and then falling into it. The same goes for any difficulty or so-called "evil" in the world. Evil, in this sense, just means anything that goes against truth. Lies, darkness, problems—anything that isn’t rooted in absolute truth and perfection—will ultimately destroy itself and end up in the pit it dug.
If you can emotionally detach yourself from a situation, you’ll speed up this process. You might not always be able to remove yourself from a problem physically—life has responsibilities, and you’ll be guided on what you need to do practically. But by stepping back emotionally and trusting that it’s being handled, you allow the problem to resolve quickly, often remarkably so. Without your emotional engagement to keep it alive, the issue will naturally collapse into the pit it has created for itself. Every problem has its resolution, one way or another, but you can help it resolve more smoothly by letting go and trusting the infinite to take care of it for you.
His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealings shall come down upon his own pate.
If someone is causing you harm—whether through their actions, words, or behavior—it’s important to remember that actions have consequences. Their harmful behavior will ultimately catch up with them, leading to its own natural resolution. This principle, often referred to as karmic justice or cause and effect, doesn’t require your involvement. It’s not your responsibility to ensure they face the consequences, nor is it your job to track when or how it happens. Trust that the Infinit has its way of restoring balance. Let it unfold in its own time.
What truly matters is resolving the problem in your life. If someone’s behavior is harmful, it’s perfectly permissible—and often necessary—to remove them from your life or limit their influence on you. Never feel guilty for creating healthy boundaries to protect your peace, safety, and mental health. Let the Infinite help you build a life free from all harm, and let go of any obsession over how justice will come to those who have wronged you. Their fate is not yours to decide or dwell on. By choosing to focus on your own healing, safety, happiness, and growth, you reclaim your power and allow yourself to move forward, free from the weight of their actions.
I will praise the Lord according to His righteousness, and I will sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High.
Your purpose is to praise the Lord's righteousness. The Lord, the Infinite, is pure righteousness. You are an extension of this righteousness, making you inherently righteous as well. This truth, that we are all righteous, is worthy of your praise.
Praise means enthusiastically acknowledging what is good. For instance, celebrating your own inherent innocence, knowing it originates from the Infinite. Your task is to actively seek out things to praise, just as the Psalm states, "I will sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High."
Consider the many qualities of the Infinite: infinite prosperity, love, joy, life, spirit, intelligence, and so on. Focus on one divine quality at a time and praise it. Observe where you see this quality in your life, in the world, and within your heart. The more you do this, the more these positive attributes will manifest, replacing the problems you face.
Conversely, dwelling on problems prevents healing, as you close off any entry point for positive change. The Psalm clearly directs you to spend your time praising the Lord. All Psalms, in essence, guide you towards this path, which is why they are effective in solving any problem. This particular Psalm is no exception.
How to Complete Your Psalm Magic
Continue returning to this Psalm each day. Meditate on its words, allowing them to wash over you until you feel a deep sense of peace and certainty that the issue you've brought to the Psalm has been resolved. Once you have reached that feeling of peace and certainty, let it go entirely and move forward with confidence. Put the matter out of your mind completely and move on to something else.
Thank you for taking the time to be here and for sharing this moment of reflection. I affirm that this practice brings you outstanding results. Until we meet again, stay blessed.
