I suppose you want to run the commands from the external file.
Then use the run command:

\documentclass[a4paper,14pt]{article}
\usepackage[x11names]{xcolor}
\usepackage{pstricks-add}

\begin{filecontents}[noheader,force]{hubble.txt}
200 0 moveto
(Hello!) show
200 2 neg moveto
230 2 neg lineto
2 setlinewidth
1 0 0 setrgbcolor
stroke
\end{filecontents}

\begin{document}
foo
     \pstverb{
         /Times-Roman findfont 12 scalefont setfont
         50 0 moveto
         (Hello!) show
         50 2 neg moveto
         80 2 neg lineto stroke
         1 dict begin
         /showpage {} def
         (hubble.txt) run
         end
}
bar

\end{document}


works also with running lualatex to get directly the PDF
