Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

6037. 'After I have seen your face' means after the mercy has been discerned. This is clear from the meaning of 'seeing' as discerning, dealt with above in 6032; and from the meaning of 'face', when used in reference to the Lord, as mercy, dealt with in 222, 223, 5585, 5816.
