The Key Word — חֲזִיתִ֑יךָ, cha.zi.Ti.khagenerated
The verb חָזָה (*chazah*) means to see or perceive, often in a context of spiritual insight or vision. The parsing as a perfect first person common singular indicates a completed action — the psalmist has definitively seen God.
This word carries a sense of deep contemplation and recognition, suggesting an encounter that transcends mere physical sight. The psalmist's use of this verb emphasizes a profound, personal experience of divine revelation.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
Translations generally agree on the meaning of the verse, with all versions reflecting the psalmist's experience of seeing God in the sanctuary.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The verse is structured around a main verb, חֲזִיתִ֑יךָ, I have seen You, which is the focal point of the sentence. It is followed by a prepositional phrase, בַּקֹּ֣דֶשׁ, in the sanctuary, providing context for the sighting.
The sentence concludes with two noun phrases, עֻ֝זְּךָ֗ and כְּבוֹדֶֽךָ, Your strength and Your glory, which describe what the psalmist has beheld, emphasizing the richness of the divine experience.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates the key verb חָזָה as ἔβλεψα, meaning 'I saw', which aligns closely with the Hebrew meaning but may suggest a more visual rather than spiritual perception. This choice indicates a focus on the act of seeing rather than the deeper implications of spiritual insight.
The translation of the sanctuary as ἐν τῷ ἁγίῳ also reflects the sacredness of the place, similar to the Hebrew term, reinforcing the idea of a holy encounter with God.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text states, "כֵּ֭ן בַּקֹּ֣דֶשׁ חֲזִיתִ֑יךָ לִרְא֥וֹת עֻ֝זְּךָ֗ וּכְבוֹדֶֽךָ׃" which translates to, "So I have seen You in the sanctuary and beheld Your power and glory." The Septuagint closely aligns with this verse, matching five of the six words, although its word order and articles differ as it presents its own sentence structure. The Dead Sea Scrolls (4Q83) contain fragments with only partial restoration, and while they do not preserve the exact wording of this verse, they suggest a similar theme of longing for God. Overall, the Masoretic Text and the Septuagint agree on the core message, while the Dead Sea Scrolls offer a glimpse into related expressions of faith, albeit in a less complete form.

A holy place devoted to God. It appears to be the name sometimes of the entire temple, Ps 73.17; Heb 9.1; sometimes of the "Holy place," where the altar on incense, the golden candlestick, and the showbread stood, 2Ch 26:18 Heb 9:2; and sometimes of the "Holy of Holies," the most secret and retired part of the temple, in which was the ark of the covenant, and where none but the high priest might enter, and he only once a year on the day of solemn expiation. The same name was also given to the most sacred part of the tabernacle set up in the wilderness, Le 4:6. See TABERNACLE, and TEMPLE.
