Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for Bible-translators and others doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still early looks into the drafted texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

Here, his right hand and the arm of his holiness represents God’s great power. The psalmist is using body parts to refer to God’s strength and ability to act. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [his great and holy power]

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of holiness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [and his holy arm]
