Exegesis
The second parallel clause employs esbeah {אֶשְׂבְּעָה | ʾeś-bə-ʿāh} ‘I will be satisfied,’ framed by the Hiphil infinitive behakits {בְהָקִיץ | bĕ-hā-qîṣ} ‘when I awake’ modifying temunatekha {תְּמוּנָתֶךָ | tə-mû-nā-te-ḵā} ‘your likeness.’ The two coordinated imperfect verbs and matching objects form a chiastic parallel highlighting vision and satisfaction. This structure emphasizes the intimate encounter with the divine presence and the fulfillment it produces.
