As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.

Verse 15 is found in chapter 17 of Psalms. Psalm 17 presents a prayer of relative innocence and a request for protection from violent enemies. The language of divine examination shows that the psalmist wants God to know his intentions, not merely his outward actions. The adversaries are described through images of ferocity and self-sufficiency, while the petitioner asks to be kept as something precious under God’s shadow. The conclusion shifts hope from present prosperity toward the satisfaction of beholding the divine face.

Ich aber will schauen dein Antlitz in Gerechtigkeit; ich will satt werden, wenn ich erwache, an deinem Bilde.
Yo en justicia veré tu rostro: Seré saciado cuando despertare a tu semejanza.
Pero yo contemplaré tu rostro en justicia; al despertar me saciaré de tu imagen.
Pour moi, dans mon innocence, je verrai ta face; Dès le réveil, je me rassasierai de ton image.
Quant’è a me, per giustizia vedrò la tua faccia; Io sarò saziato della tua sembianza, quando io mi risveglierò
Quanto a mim, contemplarei a tua face na justiça; eu me satisfarei da tua semelhança quando acordar.
至於我,我必因公正得見你的面; 我醒了的時候,你的形像使我滿足。
