9 the Lord’s own portion was his people,
Jacob his allotted share.(A)
10 He sustained[a] him in a desert land,
in a howling wilderness waste;
he shielded him, cared for him,
guarded him as the apple of his eye.(B)
11 As an eagle stirs up its nest
and hovers over its young,
as it spreads its wings, takes them up,
and bears them aloft on its pinions,(C)
12 the Lord alone guided him;
no foreign god was with him.(D)
13 He set him atop the heights of the land
and fed him with[b] produce of the field;
he nursed him with honey from the crags,
with oil from flinty rock,(E)
14 curds from the herd, and milk from the flock,
with fat of lambs and rams,
Bashan bulls and goats,
together with the choicest wheat—
you drank fine wine from the blood of grapes.(F)

and with fattened lambs and goats,
with choice rams of Bashan(O)
and the finest kernels of wheat.(P)
