The resolution to bless God while living and lift up hands in prayer articulates the commitment to perpetual worship and petition throughout life. The lifting of hands suggests the ancient posture of prayer and petition; the entire body becomes an instrument of worship. The reference to lifting hands in God's name indicates that the prayer is directed toward the God whose name and character the psalmist reveres. This verse articulates the constancy of the commitment to praise and prayer.
