# General Information:
Parallelism is common in Hebrew poetry. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/writing-poetry]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-parallelism]])
# a new song
a song no one has ever sung before. See how this is translated in [Psalms 96:1](../096/001.md).
# his right hand and his holy arm have
The words "right hand" and "holy arm" refer to Yahweh's strength. Together they emphasize how great his strength is. Alternate translation: "his very great power has" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-doublet]])
# right hand
the more powerful and skilled hand
# holy arm
Here "arm" is a metonym for power. Alternate translation: "the power that is his alone" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])
# have given him victory
This can be restated to remove the abstract noun "victory." Alternate translation: "have enabled him to be victorious over his enemies" or "has enabled him to defeat his enemies" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-abstractnouns]])
