Thomas Aquinas, on Ps 16:15

“But as for me, I will appear before thy sight in justice: I shall be satisfied when thy glory shall appear.”

“"But I." Here he shows the hope of being heard. And he sets forth two things: namely, the justice that he has and the vision of God. And these follow from each other, because through justice one arrives at the vision of God: Ps. 14: "Who will dwell in your tabernacle?" etc. "He who enters without stain and works justice." Another reading: "But I in justice shall see your face," and therefore "I shall appear in your sight," that is, I shall come to see you; "and I shall be satisfied when your glory appears," that is, when I see you, I shall be filled with all good things. Ps. 102: "Who fills your desire with good things" -- namely, "your glory," in which all good things are. Those others are satisfied with swine's flesh, according to the Septuagint. Our reading says, "in the land of the holy ones," etc. Is. 26: "Let the wicked one be taken away, lest he see the glory of God." "But I shall be satisfied." 1 Jn. 3: "When he appears, we shall be like him."”
