Deuteronomy 32:9-11
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
9 But the Lord’s portion was his people;
his allotted share was Jacob.(A)
10 He found them in a wilderness,
a wasteland of howling desert.
He shielded them, cared for them,
guarded them as the apple of his eye.(B)
11 As an eagle incites its nestlings,
hovering over its young,
So he spread his wings, took them,
bore them upon his pinions.(C)
