Exegesis
The idiom “lift up…face” with el-eloah {אֶל־אֱל֣וֹהַּ | ʾel-ʾĕ-lô-ah} ‘to God’ portrays unhindered approach and acceptance, contrasting with the downcast face of guilt or fear. English is kept close to the Hebrew clause order to preserve the tight pairing of joy (inner disposition) and uplifted face (relational access).
