63:4 The physical act of raising the hands was one custom of ancient Israel while praising (141:2); the apostle Paul commends it for Christian men (1Tm 2:8). Posture and gestures can intensify prayer and praise if the action is natural and the intent sincere. Ancient Near Eastern monuments depict rulers lifting the hand in supplication before a deity, and Israel followed the same practice toward the Lord.
