“To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.”
The reference to beholding God's power and glory in the sanctuary establishes that the deepest hunger is satisfied through encounter with God's visible manifestation. The mention of the sanctuary indicates that within the sacred space, God's power is particularly visible and accessible. The psalmist's longing is not for abstract theological knowledge but for concrete experience of divine presence and power. This verse situates the seeking of God within the cultic and liturgical context, where God is encountered through ritual and worship.
