Psalm 17:15 As for me, I will behold your face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with your likeness. Who has not misread this verse, by not perceiving the punctuation? How often has the comma after "awake" been struck out, and thus the whole sense of the passage lost! It has been read, "When I awake with Thy likeness"; being so read it has been violated. Observe the punctuation, and further comment is needless. We might turn it round thus, "I shall be satisfied with Thy likeness when I awake." The man does not awake with the likeness; he is satisfied with the likeness when he awakes. (Joseph Parker, D. D.)
