Psalms 141:2  (King James Version)
Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
 


Let my prayer
David, who was now driven from Judea, and far from the sanctuary, here prays that the devotion of his heart, and the elevation of his hands, might be accepted; that the one might ascend to heaven fragrant and well pleasing as the cloud of incense, and the other, in conjunction with it, be prevalent as the {minchah,} or evening oblation.
