When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance[a]
and divided the human race,(A)
he set the boundaries of the peoples(B)
according to the number of the people of Israel.[b]
But the Lord’s portion is his people,

10 He found him in a desolate land,
in a barren, howling wilderness;
he surrounded him, cared for him,(D)
and protected him as the pupil of his eye.(E)
