raise up
Hoist into position
Raise up means to lift or elevate, often with a sense of ceremony or spiritual significance.
It appears frequently in religious contexts—The Lord will raise up a prophet—and in expressions of empowerment: raise up the next generation of leaders.
The phrase adds emphasis or formality to plain raise, though in many contexts they're interchangeable.
