9. For Yahweh’s portion was his people, Jacob the share of his inheritance.
10. He found him in a desert land, and in a howling, desert wasteland; he encircled him, he cared for him, he protected him like the apple of his eye.
11. As an eagle stirs up its nest, hovers over its young, spreads out its wings, takes them, carries them on its pinions,
12. so Yahweh alone guided him, and there was no foreign god accompanying him.
