2 Lift up H5375 your hands H3027 in the sanctuary, H6944 and bless H1288 the LORD. H3068
Hear H8085 the voice H6963 of my supplications, H8469 when I cry H7768 unto thee, when I lift up H5375 my hands H3027 toward thy holy H6944 oracle. H1687
Let my prayer H8605 be set forth H3559 before H6440 thee as incense; H7004 and the lifting up H4864 of my hands H3709 as the evening H6153 sacrifice. H4503
Arise, H6965 cry out H7442 in the night: H3915 in the beginning H7218 of the watches H821 pour out H8210 thine heart H3820 like water H4325 before H5227 the face H6440 of the Lord: H136 lift up H5375 thy hands H3709 toward him for the life H5315 of thy young children, H5768 that faint H5848 for hunger H7458 in the top H7218 of every street.

by night—the evening service (Ps 141:2), as opposed to morning (Ps 92:2).
2. Lift up your hands—(Compare Ps 28:2).
3. After the manner directed (Nu 6:23).
out of Zion—the Church, as His residence, and thus seat of blessings. Thus close the songs of degrees.
