387. 'Being hidden from Your face' 1 means being separated from all the good present in faith and flowing from love. This is clear from the meaning of 'the face 1 of Jehovah'. As stated already, 'the face of Jehovah' means compassion, the source of all goods present in faith and flowing from love. For this reason every good accompanying faith is meant by 'the face' 1 here.

脚注:

1. literally, faces
