The lifting

Listen to the sound of my pleading
when I cry to You for help,
when I lift up my hands
toward Your holy sanctuary.

So I will praise You as long as I live;
at Your name, I will lift up my hands.

Lift up your hands in the holy place
and praise the Lord!

Therefore, I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or argument.
