387. That to be “hid from Thy faces” signifies to be separated from all the good of the faith of love, is evident from the signification of the “faces of Jehovah.” The “face of Jehovah” as before said, is mercy, from which proceed all the goods of the faith of love, and therefore the goods of faith are here signified by His “faces.”
