Why is  combining palm and hand redundant? The palm is only one side of the 
hand is it  not?

The palms are always of the hands anatomically.  So a  non-redundant
phrase would be "And hold you in the palms."  "of His hands" may  be
poetic, but isn't necessary to convey the whole meaning.   Granted,
there is a spiritual aspect to this, as well, they may be better  served
by adding the "of His hands."
 
But there are no palms elsewhere to be confused with those on  the
ventral aspect of the hands.
