Charles Ellicott Commentary Lamentations 3:41

"Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens." — Lamentations 3:41 (ASV)

With our hands. —Literally, to our hands. There is, as it were, a psychological analysis of prayer. Men can by an act of will, lift up the heart as the centre of affection: this, in its turn, prompts the outward act of the uplifted hands of supplication; God is the final object to whom the prayer is addressed.
