10 He found him in a desolate land,

in a barren, howling wilderness;

he surrounded him, cared for him,a

and protected him as the pupil of his eye.b

11 He watches overA his nest like an eagle

and hovers over his young;

he spreads his wings, catches him,

and carries him on his feathers.c

12 The Lord alone led him,

with no help from a foreign god.
