When the Most High[a] apportioned the nations,
    when he divided humankind,
he fixed the boundaries of the peoples
    according to the number of the gods;[b](A)
the Lord’s own portion was his people,
    Jacob his allotted share.(B)

10 He sustained[c] him in a desert land,
    in a howling wilderness waste;
he shielded him, cared for him,
    guarded him as the apple of his eye.(C)
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,(D)
12 the Lord alone guided him;
    no foreign god was with him.(E)
13 He set him atop the heights of the land
    and fed him with[d] produce of the field;
he nursed him with honey from the crags,
    with oil from flinty rock,(F)
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.(G)
