Allusion2
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
The psalmist hopes to 'behold your face in righteousness' and be 'satisfied with your likeness' upon awaking, the classic beatific-vision text and a likeness motif. John's 'we will be like him, for we will see him' closely mirrors this seeing-and-likeness pairing. The awaking imagery resonates with eschatological revelation.
