  • The three-member construct chain in v. 11b is literally "the arm of strength of you." The second member of the construct chain ("strength") characterizes the first member ("arm") (= "arm of strength" >> "strong arm"), and the third member of the chain ("you") indicates possession ("your strong arm," so NIV, CEB, NET, cf. NLT, ESV, CSB, CEV, NJPS).
