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)

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 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

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.

KJV 1900King James Version

As an eagle stirreth up her nest,

Fluttereth over her young,

Spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them,

Beareth them on her wings:

So the Lord alone did lead him,

And there was no strange god with him.
