⁹ For Yahweh’s portion is his people.
    Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.
¹⁰ He found him in a desert land,
    in the waste howling wilderness.
He surrounded him.
    He cared for him.
    He kept him as the apple of his eye.
¹¹ As an eagle that stirs up her nest,
    that flutters over her young,
he spread abroad his wings,
    he took them,
    he bore them on his feathers.
