Commentators explain that the phrases 'mighty arm,' 'strong hand,' and 'high right hand' are powerful metaphors for God's omnipotence. They paint a picture of God's active, decisive strength. As Albert Barnes notes, the 'high right hand' specifically suggests a hand raised to act with great force, assuring believers of God's limitless ability to accomplish His will.
