Psalms 118:16 - Exposition

The right hand of the Lord is exalted (compare the parallel expression in Exodus 15:6 , "Thy right hand, O God, is become glorious in power "). When God's right hand effects a deliverance, it gets, as it were, additional glory to itself. The right hand of the Lord doeth valiantly . So, already, in Psalms 118:16 . Repetition is a special characteristic of this psalm (see Psalms 118:1 , Psalms 118:2 , Psalms 118:3 , Psalms 118:4 ; Psalms 118:8 , Psalms 118:9 ; Psalms 118:10-12 , etc.).
