This is clear from the meaning of 'strength of hand' as power or, when used in reference to Jehovah, as almighty power (the fact that 'strength' means power is self-evident; and the fact that 'hand' likewise means power, see 878, 3387, 4931-4937, 5327, 5328, 5544, 6947, 7188, 7189, 7518, 7673); and from the meaning of 'bringing out' as delivering. That 'Jehovah' is the Lord, see above in 8046.
