# General Information:

Parallelism is common in Hebrew poetry. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/writing-poetry]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/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/translate/figs-metonymy]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/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/translate/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/translate/figs-abstractnouns]])
