The Posture of Worship
Commentators explain that "lifting up your hands" is a physical posture signifying prayer and worship. This action connects the body to the spiritual act of blessing the Lord. As Albert Barnes notes, while it often denotes prayer, it can be used for praise and worship in general, reminding believers that worship is a whole-person experience.
