“As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.”
The final affirmation that the speaker will behold God's face in righteousness and be satisfied upon waking seeing God's likeness establishes the ultimate vindication. The behold God's face imagery suggests intimate encounter and personal knowledge of the divine. The condition in righteousness suggests that vindication confirms the speaker's innocence. The mention of waking suggests either resurrection or awakening from the distress of sleep. This verse promises eschatological reunion with God and ultimate satisfaction.
