Exegesis
The dative lo {לֽוֹ | lô} “to him” indicates possession, referring back to the delivered community; English renders this as “his” in the formal and “they have” in the dynamic to maintain either Hebrew singularity or explicit plurality. The semicolon underscores the poetic parallelism between divine deliverance and the resulting empowerment.
