When God Most High divided up the nations—
        when he divided up humankind—
    he decided the people’s boundaries
        based on the number of the gods.[a]
Surely the Lord’s property was his people;
    Jacob was his part of the inheritance.
10 God found[b] Israel in a wild land—
        in a howling desert wasteland—
    he protected him, cared for him,
    watched over him with his very own eye.
