From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us -The word translated “beauty” -נעםnô‛am- means properly “pleasantness;” then, beauty, splendor; then grace or layout. The Septuagint renders it here,λαμπρότηςlamprotēs, “splendor;” and so the Latin Vulgate. The wish is clearly that all that there is, in the divine character, which is “beautiful,” which is suited to win the hearts of people to admiration, gratitude, and love - might be so manifested to them, or that they might so see the excellency of his character, and that his dealings with them might be such, as to keep the beauty, the loveliness, of that character constantly before them.
