Trapp's Commentary on Isaiah 52:10
Isaiah 52:10 The LORD hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.Ver. 10. The Lord hath made bare his holy arm.] Nudavit, id est, exeruit, in answer to your prayer. God oft answereth his praying people ad cardinem desiderii, as Augustine saith, letteth it be to them even as they will. Scanderbeg ever fought against the Turks with his arm bare, and that with such fierceness that the blood did oftentimes burst out of his lips. It is written that he, with that bare arm of his, slow three thousand Turks in the time of his wars against them. Shall see the salvation of the Lord.] Shall see it and sing of it.

Cambridge Bible on Isaiah 52:10
10. Here (if not already in Isaiah 52:9) the prophet withdraws his gaze from the future, and describes Jehovah as preparing Himself for the conflict which leads to the joyous scene of Isa 52:7 f. hath made bare his holy arm] throwing back the sleeveless upper garment from the right shoulder, in readiness for action: δεξιὸνὦμονγυμνὸνἔχωνἐντῇμάχῃ (Arrian, Alex. 5. 18, quoted by Dillmann). See the contrasted metaphor in Psalms 74:11. his holy arm means “His divine arm” (Psalms 98:1). The “arm” of Jehovah, as ch. Isaiah 51:9 (cf. also Isaiah 53:1). shall see the salvation (i.e. the deliverance or “victory”) of our God] a different idea from that of Isa 45:22.
Barnes' Notes on Isaiah 52:10
