On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

We must pray to him, with a believing expectation to receive mercy from him; for that is implied in our lifting up our hands to him (a gesture commonly used in prayer and sometimes put for it, as Ps. cxli. 2 , Let the lifting up of my hands be as the evening sacrifice ); it signifies our requesting mercy from him and our readiness to receive that mercy.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan
