Why lift up hands to worship God? From ancient times, upraised hands have revealed both praise and petition. The Hebrews used their hands to express both their DEPENDENCE ON GOD and their RESPECT FOR HIM. Lifting their hands symbolized an EXPECTANT ATTITUDE and TRUST IN GOD-that He would fill their empty hands with His blessing. One if the Hebrew words for PRAISE derived from the word for HAND, could mean HOLDING OUT HANDS IN WORSHIP. "I will praise You as long as I live, and in Your Name I will lift up my hands. " Psalms 63:4
