Question
It is written: "ונשלמה פרים שפתינו" ("and we will render [the offering of] bulls with our lips"), and therefore we recite the passages of the korbanot before the prayer.
If the recitation of "Pitum HaKetoret" is considered in place of the burning of the Ketoret, then seemingly we should say only that which relates to the actual burning, and not the entire process of the Pitum, which was done only once a year.
Why then do we nevertheless recite the entire "Pitum HaKetoret"?

Answer
Peace and blessings.
The recitation of the entire order is indeed not according to the plain meaning, but is based on Kabbalah.
