ESVEnglish Standard Version
But the Lord’s portion is his people,
Jacob his allotted heritage.
“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,

CSBChristian Standard Bible
But the Lord’s portion is his people,
Jacob, his own inheritance.
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.

NLTNew Living Translation
“For the people of Israel belong to the Lord;
Jacob is his special possession.
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.

For Yahweh’s portion was his people,
Jacob the share of his inheritance.
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,

KJV 1900King James Version
For the Lord’s portion is his people;
Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.
He found him in a desert land,
And in the waste howling wilderness;
He led him about, he instructed him,
He kept him as the apple of his eye.
As an eagle stirreth up her nest,
Fluttereth over her young,
Spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them,
Beareth them on her wings:
