KJV - Ezra 9:5

And at the evening sacrifice I arose up from my heaviness; and having rent my garment and my mantle, I fell upon my knees, and spread out my hands unto the LORD my God,

At sunset, I woke up from being sad. I tore my clothes and my cloak, then knelt down, praying to God with my hands stretched out.
