The Power in God's Right Hand

Commentators explain that the phrase "Thy right hand" is a powerful poetic image (an anthropomorphism) used to describe God's immense power in human terms. The song repeats this phrase to emphasize that the victory was achieved by God's strength alone, which gloriously and decisively crushed the enemy.
