Psalms 141
David asks that his prayer be set before the LORD like incense and his lifted hands like the evening sacrifice. He asks for a guard over his mouth, a heart not drawn to evil, and the rebuke of the righteous as a kindness.

- Textually stated
Scripture links rising incense with prayer (a symbolic, typological reading of the altar).
Psalm 141:2 asks that prayer be 'set before you like incense'; Revelation 8:3–4 shows incense rising with the prayers of the saints. Exodus itself does not give the incense this meaning; applying it to the tabernacle altar is a typological reading.
