lift up
Raise to height
To lift up is to raise something physically or figuratively—essentially an emphatic form of lift.
You lift up a child to see over a crowd, lift up your voice in song, or lift up someone's spirits with encouragement.
The phrase often carries emotional or spiritual weight: The music lifted me up when I was feeling low.
Religious contexts use it for prayer or praise: Lift up your hearts.
