'Lifting' in the Bible

David spoke to the chief of the Levites to appoint their brothers the singers, with instruments of music, stringed instruments and harps and cymbals, sounding aloud and lifting up the voice with joy.

and Ezra blessed Yahweh, the great God. All the people answered, "Amen, Amen," with the lifting up of their hands. They bowed their heads, and worshiped Yahweh with their faces to the ground.

Let my prayer be set before you like incense; the lifting up of my hands like the evening sacrifice.

"If you have done foolishly in lifting up yourself, or if you have thought evil, put your hand over your mouth.
