It is interesting to consider this verse as a whole. There may be a tendency to get mixed up with the word judgement. However if we focus more on the latter part of this statement it will lead us more to acknowledge the encompassment of the LORD that includes us all. As we learn to rest in the reality of that the judgement that tends to separate us becomes non-existent which opens the way to understand and love the judgement of the LORD.
HE BROUGHT ME FORTH INTO A LARGE PLACE
As we move in the paths of the LORD we find a place of largeness. A place where we know we have a large influence. Here we know a great opportunity to influence all with radiant life. Here is our joy to be alive!!!
THE LORD IN HIS HOLY TEMPLE
These words point to the reality that the Lord dwells in a designed place that is whole. As we still ourselves to know our place within this temple we come to a state of communion. Here we experience soundness and peace and glory and praise. Here we know ourselves as the light that we are as one.
ACCORDING TO MINE INTEGRITY
The expression of our lives is a direct result of our integrity. When we find ourselves going along with the currently acceptable mode of living that is a basic violation of our integrity inner conflict will result. When inner conflict becomes our experience it is not a matter of doing battle within ourselves rather it simply is a matter of recognition and reorientation.

Let us begin and continue to live according to our integrity that makes for oneness and pure joy.
THIS HONOUR HAVE ALL HIS SAINTS. PRAISE YE THE LORD.
Did you ever think of it this way? That it is an honor to be able to praise the LORD. To actually have the privilege to be alive in form to do this.

I can see as we keep this as our central most orientation that in whatever may arise of stressful things and even perceived good things it enables us to be in place all the time. Being in the place of providing what we would naturally provide for our one love and greatest joy to be known here on earth.

I MUSE ON THE WORK OF THY HANDS
As we consider the many works of nature and acknowledge a source of all that naturally is an inspiration dawns on us that is exhilarating. Here we breathe in wonder and awe that stops us in the moment to appreciate. I find it interesting that the word muse and musical begin the same way. Let’s continue to appreciate the works of God springing through the works of our Lord in this day and time. For here we open to the music of the spheres blending in the harmonious experience of all that is.
MINE EYES UNTO THEE
As we lift up our eyes to that which is whole and decent and real there is a communion with the spirit of our Lord. Here there is peace and an infilling of our soul that is enlightening. Let’s continue to lift up our eyes knowing a greater state of communion filled to overflowing extending the wholeness, decency and realness of the Lord.
I HAVE ORDAINED A LAMP FOR MINE ANOINTED
I find as I still myself to enter the spirit of these words something else is illuminated beyond just the surface content of them. Here an invitation is sounded for us to know the reality of trust as we work to restore the world to its natural beauty and integration. May these words continue to open the way for each of us to play our parts in restoring the world.
STRENGTHEN ME UNTO THY WORD
As we hold this premise in our hearts before speaking or acting it serves to bring our expression into alignment with the natural expression that would emanate from the LORD through us. Here we can provide sound and sane influences into the world.
HE HATH COMMANDED HIS COVENANT FOR EVER
The covenant is always extended from the LORD. We just have to honor and receive it. In this agreement we are whole.
