Psalm 4:7 — the light of your face; angels see the face, men the light
“The light of your face has been marked upon us, Lord” (Psalm 4:7).
The angels always see the face of God; but men, the light of his face. For the face of the Lord is a spiritual contemplation of all things that have come to be on earth. And the light of the face is the partial knowledge of these same things, as the wise Tekoite saidan angel of God, knowing all things on the earth” (2 Samuel 14:17).

4.7 ̓Εσημειώθη ἐφ' ἡμᾶς τὸ φῶς τοῦ προσώπου σου, Κύριε. Οἱ μὲν α γγελοι διὰ παντὸς βλέπουσι τὸ πρόσωπον τοῦ Θεοῦ· οἱ δὲ α νθρωποι, τὸ φῶς τοῦ προσώπου αὐτοῦ. Πρόσωπον γὰρ Κυρίου ἐστὶ θεωρία πνευματικὴ πάντων τῶν ἐπὶ γῆς γεγονότων. Φῶς δὲ προσώπου ἐστὶν ἡ μερικὴ γνῶσις τούτων αὐτῶν, ει περ κατὰ τὴν σοφὴν Θηκωϊτίδα· Ωσπερ α γγελος Θεοῦ η ν ὁ ∆αυὶδ, πάντα εἰδὼς τὰ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.
