Exegesis
The prepositional phrase le’enei ha-goyim {לְעֵינֵי הַגּוֹיִם | lə-ʿê-nê ha-ggo-yim} ‘before the eyes of the nations’ establishes surrounding peoples as witnesses, which is reinforced by the relative clause asher hotzeitim {אֲשֶׁר הוֹצֵאתִים | ʾa-šer ho-tse-ʾî-tîm} ‘whom I brought out’ and the final phrase le’eneihem {לְעֵינֵיהֶם | lə-ʿê-nê-hem} ‘before their eyes’ for emphasis on public vindication.
