"A Song of Ascents. Out of the depths I call to You, O Lord." (Psalm 130:1) Rabbi Yosei bar Chanina said in the name of Rabbi Eliezer ben Yaakov: "A person should never stand in a high place and pray, as it is said, 'Out of the depths I call to You.' (Psalm 130:1) It was also taught similarly: A person should never stand on a bed, on a chair, on a stool, or on a fence, nor in a high place and pray, because there are no elevations before the Omnipresent, as it is said, 'Out of the depths I call to You, O Lord.' For with You is forgiveness." Rabbi Abba said: "Forgiveness is entrusted to you from Rosh Hashanah. Why is this so? In order to inspire fear upon Your creatures on Yom Kippur."
