For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God.
Becoming acquainted with God by knowing and trusting the Almighty and receiving His words brings delight in Him. The one who thus delights in the Almighty can lift up the face to God with confidence, approaching Him with an uplifted face. Lifting the face to God means approaching Him in prayer with confidence.
This confidence belongs with praying to God and with paying vows by keeping promises made to Him. That keeping of promises includes fulfilling pledges made to build a house for worship. The verses that follow add that God hears prayer, establishes what is decreed, gives light, and saves the humble.
