Psalm 141:2
New Catholic Bible
2 May my prayer be like incense[a] before you,
the lifting up of my hands like the evening sacrifice.
Footnotes
- Psalm 141:2 Incense: literally, “smoke,” i.e., the fragrant fumes that wafted from the altar at the daily burning of sacrificial animals or aromatic spices. The lifting up of my hands: a symbol of dependence on and praise of the Lord (see Pss 28:2; 63:5; 1 Tim 2:8).
