Psalms 141:2

³Another angel came and stood over the altar, having a golden censer. Much incense was given to him, that he should add it to the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar which was before the throne. ⁴The smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, went up before God out of the angel’s hand.

⁸Now when he had taken the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each one having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.

⁸I desire therefore that the men in every place pray, lifting up holy hands without anger and doubting.

²¹yes, while I was speaking in prayer—the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening offering.

¹¹For from the rising of the sun even to its going down, my name is great among the nations, and in every place incense will be offered to my name, and a pure offering; for my name is great among the nations,” says the LORD of Armies.

⁸The sacrifice made by the wicked is an abomination to the LORD, but the prayer of the upright is his delight.

⁷Aaron shall burn incense of sweet spices on it every morning. When he tends the lamps, he shall burn it. ⁸When Aaron lights the lamps at evening, he shall burn it, a perpetual incense before the LORD throughout your generations. ⁹You shall offer no strange incense on it, nor burnt offering, nor meal offering; and you shall pour no drink offering on it.

⁴So I will bless you while I live. I will lift up my hands in your name.

⁹according to the custom of the priest’s office, his lot was to enter into the temple of the Lord and burn incense. ¹⁰The whole multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of incense.

³⁴The LORD said to Moses, “Take to yourself sweet spices, gum resin, onycha, and galbanum: sweet spices with pure frankincense. There shall be an equal weight of each. ³⁵You shall make incense of it, a perfume after the art of the perfumer, seasoned with salt, pure and holy. ³⁶You shall beat some of it very small, and put some of it before the covenant in the Tent of Meeting, where I will meet with you. It shall be to you most holy. ³⁷You shall not make this incense, according to its composition, for yourselves: it shall be to you holy for the LORD. ³⁸Whoever shall make any like that, to smell of it, he shall be cut off from his people.”
