10He found him sin a desert land,

And in the twaste howling uwilderness;

He ||led him about, he instructed him,

He kept him as xthe apple of his eye.

11yAs an eagle stirreth up her nest,

zFluttereth over her young,

Spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them,

yBeareth them on her wings:

12So the Lord alone did lead him,

And there was no strange god with him.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

“He found him in a desert land,

and in the howling waste of the wilderness;

he encircled him, he cared for him,

he kept him as the apple of his eye.

Like an eagle that stirs up its nest,

that flutters over its young,

spreading out its wings, catching them,

bearing them on its pinions,

the Lord alone guided him,

no foreign god was with him.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

In a desert land he found him,

in a barren and howling waste.

He shielded him and cared for him;

he guarded him as the apple of his eye,

like an eagle that stirs up its nest

and hovers over its young,

that spreads its wings to catch them

and carries them aloft.

The Lord alone led him;

no foreign god was with him.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

He found him in a desolate land,

in a barren, howling wilderness;

he surrounded him, cared for him,

and protected him as the pupil of his eye.

He watches over his nest like an eagle

and hovers over his young;

he spreads his wings, catches him,

and carries him on his feathers.

The Lord alone led him,

with no help from a foreign god.

NLTNew Living Translation

He found them in a desert land,

in an empty, howling wasteland.

He surrounded them and watched over them;

he guarded them as he would guard his own eyes.

Like an eagle that rouses her chicks

and hovers over her young,

so he spread his wings to take them up

and carried them safely on his pinions.

The Lord alone guided them;

they followed no foreign gods.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

He found him in a desert land,

and in a howling, desert wasteland;

he encircled him, he cared for him,

he protected him like the apple of his eye.

As an eagle stirs up its nest,

hovers over its young,

spreads out its wings, takes them,

carries them on its pinions,

so Yahweh alone guided him,

and there was no foreign god accompanying him.
