2 Lift up your hands in the sanctuary. Praise Yahweh!
Hear the voice of my petitions, when I cry to you, When I lift up my hands toward your Most Holy Place.
I desire therefore that the men in every place pray, lifting up holy hands without wrath and doubting.
Let my prayer be set before you like incense; The lifting up of my hands like the evening sacrifice.
Arise, cry out in the night, at the beginning of the watches; Pour out your heart like water before the face of the Lord: Lift up your hands toward him for the life of your young children, that faint for hunger at the head of every street.
