Matthew Poole and continuators on Job 22:26

26. For thou shalt have thy delight in the Almighty , and shalt lift up thy face unto God .

So this Verse contains a Reason why he might confidently expect all those former outward blessings, because he should have God's favour, which is the spring and foundation of them. Or, Surely: Or, Yea moreover; for this Particle chi, is sometimes used by way of aggravation or amplification, as Gen. 45. 26. 1 Sam. 14. 41. Isa. 7. 9. & 32. 13. And this suits very well here; yea God will do greater things than these for thee.

Thou shalt find delight not only in these outward comforts, but also and especially in God, whose Face shall shine upon thee, who shall give thee these things not in anger and wrath, as he doth to wicked men, but as pledges of his love and favour to thee, and of those greater and eternal blessings which he hath in store for thee; and accordingly thou shalt delight thy self in worshipping, enjoying, obeying, and serving God in and with all his mercies.

i. e. Look up to him by meditation and prayer, not as now thou dost, with horrour and grief, which is signified by a dejected Countenance, 2 Sam. 2. 22. Luke 18. 13. but with chearfulness and confidence, as this Phrase oft notes, as Luke 21. 28. See on Iob 11. 15.
