9] For the LORD’s portion is his people,
Jacob his allotted heritage.
[10] "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.
[11] Like an eagle that stirs up its nest,
that flutters over its young,
spreading out its wings, catching them,
bearing them on its pinions,
[12] the LORD alone did lead him,
and there was no foreign god with him.
[13] He made him ride on the high places of the earth,
and he ate the produce of the field;
and he made him suck honey out of the rock,
and oil out of the flinty rock
