Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, etc.] The people of Israel out of Egypt, which was typical of the redemption of the Lord’s people by Christ, the arm and power of God: the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Joseph is particularly mentioned for honour’s sake, and because he was the means of supporting Jacob and his family in Egypt; and had special faith in their deliverance from thence; the Targum is, “the sons whom Jacob begot, and Joseph nourished.” Selah. (See Gill on “<190302>Psalm 3:2”).
