⁹ But the Lord himself takes care of his own people.
    Jacob's descendants are his special people.
¹⁰ The Lord found them in a desert place.
    It was a place where strong winds blew and nobody lived.
He took care of them and he kept them safe.
    He protected them, like someone protects their own eyes.
¹¹ The Lord took care of his people,
    like an eagle takes care of its babies.
As an eagle flies with its babies on its back,
    the Lord helped his people to be safe.
