41 Let us lift up our hearts and our hands to God in heaven, and say:
41 Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens.
41 Let us lift up our hearts and hands to God in heaven:
41 Let's lift our hearts and hands at one and the same time, praying to God in heaven:
41 Let us lift our hearts and hands To God in heaven.
41 Let us lift our hearts and hands to God in heaven and say,
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Lamentations 3:41
Commentary on Lamentations 3:37-41
(Read Lamentations 3:37-41)
While there is life there is hope; and instead of complaining that things are bad, we should encourage ourselves with the hope they will be better. We are sinful men, and what we complain of, is far less than our sins deserve. We should complain to God, and not of him. We are apt, in times of calamity, to reflect on other people's ways, and blame them; but our duty is to search and try our own ways, that we may turn from evil to God. Our hearts must go with our prayers. If inward impressions do not answer to outward expressions, we mock God, and deceive ourselves.
