1. “He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.”

a. [He hath] shewed [Strong: 4160 poiéō, poy-eh'-o; apparently a prolonged form of an obsolete primary; to make or do (in a very wide application, more or less direct):—abide, + agree, appoint, × avenge, + band together, be, bear, + bewray, bring (forth), cast out, cause, commit, + content, continue, deal, + without any delay, (would) do(-ing), execute, exercise, fulfil, gain, give, have, hold, × journeying, keep, + lay wait, + lighten the ship, make, X mean, + none of these things move me, observe, ordain, perform, provide, + have purged, purpose, put, + raising up, × secure, shew, X shoot out, spend, take, tarry, + transgress the law, work, yield.]

b. strength [Strong: 2904 krátos, krat'-os; perhaps a primary word; vigor ("great") (literally or figuratively):—dominion, might(-ily), power, strength.]

c. with [Strong: 1722 en, en; a primary preposition denoting (fixed) position (in place, time or state), and (by implication) instrumentality (medially or constructively), i.e. a relation of rest (intermediate between G1519 and G1537); "in," at, (up-)on, by, etc.:—about, after, against, + almost, × altogether, among, × as, at, before, between, (here-)by (+ all means), for (… sake of), + give self wholly to, (here-)in(-to, -wardly), × mightily, (because) of, (up-)on, (open-)ly, × outwardly, one, × quickly, × shortly, (speedi-)ly, × that, × there(-in, -on), through(-out), (un-)to(-ward), under, when, where(-with), while, with(-in). Often used in compounds, with substantially the same import; rarely with verbs of motion, and then not to indicate direction, except (elliptically) by a separate (and different) preposition.]

d. his [Strong: 846 autós, ow-tos'; from the particle αὖ aû (perhaps akin to the base of G109 through the idea of a baffling wind) (backward); the reflexive pronoun self, used (alone or in the comparative G1438) of the third person , and (with the proper personal pronoun) of the other persons:—her, it(-self), one, the other, (mine) own, said, (self-), the) same, ((him-, my-, thy- )self, (your-)selves, she, that, their(-s), them(-selves), there(-at, - by, -in, -into, -of, -on, -with), they, (these) things, this (man), those, together, very, which.]

e. arm [Strong: 1023 brachíōn, brakh-ee'-own; properly, comparative of G1024, but apparently in the sense of βράσσω brássō (to wield); the arm, i.e. (figuratively) strength:—arm.]

f. [he hath] scattered [Strong: 1287 diaskorpízō, dee-as-kor-pid'-zo; from G1223 and G4650; to dissipate, i.e. (genitive case) to rout or separate; specially, to winnow; figuratively, to squander:—disperse, scatter (abroad), strew, waste.]

g. [the] proud [Strong: 5244 hupĕrēphanŏs, hoop-er-ay'-fan-os; from G5228 and G5316; appearing above others (conspicuous), i.e. (figuratively) haughty:—proud.

ύπερλίαν hupĕrlian.]

h. [in the] imagination [Strong: 1271 diánoia, dee-an'-oy-ah; from G1223 and G3563; deep thought, properly, the faculty (mind or its disposition), by implication, its exercise:—imagination, mind, understanding.]

i. [of] their [Strong: 846 autós, ow-tos'; from the particle αὖ aû (perhaps akin to the base of G109 through the idea of a baffling wind) (backward); the reflexive pronoun self, used (alone or in the comparative G1438) of the third person , and (with the proper personal pronoun) of the other persons:—her, it(-self), one, the other, (mine) own, said, (self-), the) same, ((him-, my-, thy- )self, (your-)selves, she, that, their(-s), them(-selves), there(-at, - by, -in, -into, -of, -on, -with), they, (these) things, this (man), those, together, very, which.]

j. hearts [Strong: 2588 kardía, kar-dee'-ah; prolonged from a primary κάρ kár (Latin cor, "heart"); the heart, i.e. (figuratively) the thoughts or feelings (mind); also (by analogy) the middle:—(+ broken-)heart(-ed).]
