From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

O sing unto the Lord a new song -ComparePsalms 33:3;Psalms 96:1. “For he hath done marvelous things.” Things suited to excite wonder, or to fill the mind with astonishment. SeePsalms 77:14;Psalms 86:10. His right hand -The instrument by which we execute any purpose. CompareIsaiah 59:16;Isaiah 63:5. And his holy arm -The arm of his holiness; that is, his arm put forth in a righteous cause, or vindicating that which is right. Hath gotten him the victory -literally, “has worked salvation for him:” for himself, or in his own cause. The victory - the salvation - was really in defense of his own government; in maintaining his own authority against those who set themselves in opposition to it.
