² Lift your hands toward the sanctuary,
    and praise the Lord.

² Listen to my prayer for mercy
    as I cry out to you for help,
    as I lift my hands toward your holy sanctuary.

² Accept my prayer as incense offered to you,
    and my upraised hands as an evening offering.

⁴ I will praise you as long as I live,
    lifting up my hands to you in prayer.

¹⁹ Rise during the night and cry out.
    Pour out your hearts like water to the Lord.
Lift up your hands to him in prayer,
    pleading for your children,
for in every street
    they are faint with hunger.

² I have seen you in your sanctuary
    and gazed upon your power and glory.

⁴¹ Let us lift our hearts and hands
    to God in heaven and say,

⁶ I wash my hands to declare my innocence.
    I come to your altar, O Lord,
